DA-7800 vs Record pricing
Greetings! Looking through catalogs, I see that, except for derailleurs
and _carbon_ cranks, the price of DA7800 is much higher than for Record. Examples include crank/bb's - $450 for DA, $340 for Record; control levers - $450 for DA, $300 for Record; hub pairs - $300+ for DA, about $220 for Record, etc... Strange thing is, then, when I see "build kits" or "gruppo sets", they total the same price or, in some cases, Record still has a higher price... Is Shimano still doing the old OEM trick, and are distributors still taking those and selling them as parts? Just curious... |

BUT when looking at the materials of DA..I don't see why a set of 7800 levers are $450 or the crank is $400+...for plastic and aluminum... I bet that some bike manufacturers are still reselling 7800 stuff. We jiust got a bunch of stuff from Security in plastic bags, somethig that I though was a no-no... PLUS 6500 stuff is almost non-existent right now..I wonder if shimano has already abandoned 6500 for the 10s stuff...due out September?? can't wait to see the price of that. I'm guessing about $1200 for a 6600 group-or whatever they are gonna label it.
