alright, since it seems like i'm basically going to end up parting the whole gruppo out, i'll post up some prices, but they don't include shipping.
basically i was looking at clearing about $580 after shipping with the basic $630 groupset (ultegra crank+bb & ultegra cassette) - in other words, i was figuring on about $50 in shipping.
i have no idea how attractive these items are @ these prices given that the more broken up the groupset is, the higher the shipping costs.
shifters = $260
fd = $40
rd = $60
cassette = $60
ultegra crank+bb = $60
brakes = $100
note again that these prices
do not include shipping.
[edit]pfft: i have no idea why i thought shipping would be $30 for either of the crankset. shipping for the crankset should only be ~$17 according to canadapost's website. i don't know why i thought it was so much. as to the two guys asking about a) the fd + shifters; and b) the rd + ultegra cassette, the shipping costs for you guys shouldn't be very high (~$10) as i should be able to keep the weight under 1kg (once weight goes above that, shipping rates go up fast).
as a final note, i'm firm on these prices. i'm not in a rush to sell these parts, and i don't really need to. switching over to a campy athena groupset is a want, so if i can't cover a substantial portion of the cost of switching over, i won't do it.
sorry if i sound aggressive or something, that's not my intention. i just personally like to haggle when buying stuff, and i know others do as well, but in this case i'm not in for some haggling, sorry!
and for those of you who like haggling, some comic relief:
