Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

I'm the same.....

Well in case to do, I think Mantel are OK. I've ordered quite a bit of stuff from them over the past few years and never had any issues.

No thank you, I'm not looking to host an American government listening post.

Here, have one of these.

Why, have they already used one of these on you?

My wheels came from Mantel 2 years back. I couldn’t afford to buy them at today’s UK price tbh.

Absolute bargain back then too, with delivery faster than from U.K.

I've just been listening to a futurologist telling me in the future that we will all have a digital twin who will know our preferences and automatically run our lives. I think he's rather underestimating many people's reticence to give their life over to the cloud.
Anyway, back on topic(ish), Echo Dot £34.99 from Amazon at the mo.

What does fixed refer to? I can only think braze on FD?

I think they mean that there are limited things you can change. The bb and cassette are fixed - you only have a choice of two crank lengths and two crank gearings.

Not sure, but going to the Version of the website for the UK shows a higher price:

https://www.mantel.com/uk/shimano-ultegra-6800-11s-groupset-incl-crank

My assumption being that VAT is not included in their pricing.

Very Important EDIT:

Although this link will be far more enjoyable!!! @DP @ianrauk

https://www.mantel.com/uk/shimano-fixed-ultegra-6800-groepset?r=L2RlY2VtYmVyZGVhbHMjc3RhcnQ2

Fixed being there only being 2 options for crank and chainrings.

I think you might e right having looked at this again

I believe that it’s because you can’t tailor each part of the groupset, like their full priced version. The only choice is the chainset.

Planet X are having another of their "sales" where some of the prices are the same as before and others seemingly vary on a daily basis (an Altura messenger bag was £10 yesterday, £16 today!). However one item that caught my eye was 11 speed chains for £10 + P&P
