I'm starting to build a bike (my first time) so i was wondering how much a LX groupset would cost in America?? Also it would be good to know how much a XT groupset costs as well. I currently live in AUstralia, but my bro is going over there and it could be cheaper! Any help would be awesome!!! I know its cheaper to buy a new bike, but this is a hobby of mine and i think it would be awesome to learn how to build a bike from scratch
It'll be much cheaper to buy the groupset in the US.
Heres a link that may help; I think it only has individual component prices though, not full groups: http://www.comparisonpricing.com/ (if you want to buy a full groupset, it's cheaper to buy it as one, rather than bit by bit)

Cheers for your help
Ride ON!!!
Sorry also the groupset is for V brakes and i require just the standard groupset, not build kits. cheers
A newer LX groupo should cost significantly less than a newer XT. If you're not obsessed about weight, the LX should be a good deal. I ride XT from a few years ago and friends' newer LX components are just as good. Sorry to hear about the cost of bike components in Australia. You need a few Wal-Marts...just kidding...🙂
