WTD: SOME THINGS. You may have them. Also advice.

Hi,

Posted a post the other day asking for recommendations on ALU TT frames, and I'm stalking a couple of Ribble on ebay so should be good there.

The plan is to build it up as a bit of a hodge podge. I've got my Carbon Tubs, so am fine there, but need basically everything else.

If anyone has any SRAM Apex/Rival bits mechs and chainsets kicking about, whatever condition, I'll definitely make a sensible offer. SRAM 500TT shifters would also be considered.

I also need a set of base bars and extensions, again, anything really considered as long as its not carbon.

Giro tech: Contador goes Apex

Race leader opts for cheaper components in the mountains

Best groupset that isn't expensive or Campagnolo...

Just posting a request for advice on which groupset I should consider out of either:

Shimano: Tiagra or 105
Sram: Apex or Rival

Can't filter out the best one but someone must know.

On a seperate note, which frame is more suited to racing: The Ribble sportive Racing or the Ribble Stealth.

And which gruppo will work best for my mid range Ribble Frame intended for racing and as a quick, maintenance low, easy to use, light, snappy machine.
