I read the forum thread, and the $240 was brought up by the guy who apparently is the retroshift guy. He said $240 is the expected cost of a 10speed setup. It was in the sentence where he was comparing the cost to Ultegra brifters ($340) and Dura Ace brifters (>$400). I take that to mean that the person that buys Retroshift parts and buys Dura-Ace 10 speed downtube shifters to go on them, that person will be laying out $240 total. You can get Dura Ace downtube 10-speed shifters for about $100, so I read the above comment to mean that the Retroshift things will be in the ballpark of $140.
Later he says the Retroshift will be sold naked, so you can provide whatever shifter you like. Just because the "expected cost of a 10-speed setup" will be $240 and they "will be sold naked" does not mean the naked parts will be $240. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
