Looking for an online retailer that sells Shimano DA components on the cheap. I've already looked at PBK, but more than 1/2 the components that I want is out of stock:( How quickly do they restock anyway?

Gvhbikes.com is great and usually has competitive prices.... they have great prices on SRAM, too (hint, hint). Put a Dura-Ace cassette on a SRAM Force build and you have Record weight (they'll let you mix parts at no premium). Cannondales look great with SRAM. ;)

They look OK with Dura Ace, too. :P

Cheers!

Thanks guns! I've ordered a build kit from PBK. Unfortunately they come with blaze-on front derailleurs, but I can always ebay off whatever I don't want, since the price is so low.

Snap. Sorry, I bought an FD7800 on ebay just last week :(
This is going to be the setup, I'm very excited.

Frameset: Cannondale CAAD9 (4-6 weeks for the special order, ouch!)
Pedals: Shimano PD7810
Crankset: Shimano FC-R700 compact
Rest of the gruppo: Shimano Dura-Ace 7800 series
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Seatpost: Specialized S-Works Pave (I know I know, why would I install a Specialized component on a Cannondale?)
Stem: Deda Newton
Handlebar: Deda Newton
Brake/shifter cables: Nokon cable system

OMG... 4 weeks... *gag* the frame order just went out last week and I'm already suffocating. Have I mentioned that I ebayed off my Specialized road bike already? That was very untimely.
