Sora 2013 Release Date

[Psyclist]

Tried to grave dig my old thread but couldn't find it

Just wondering if anybody knows the approx date in 2013 that the new Sora groupo will be released and price?

Thinking of changing my 2012 Sora groupo to it. Partly becuase it's black, but mainly because of the new brifter (brake/shifter) system which works like Tiagra (onwards)

Any info would be appreciated.

Alex.

Looks much better without those thumb lever thingys...

Can be purchased already on a well known auction site. I was looking at it last night

Still got the sticker on the front mech - ruins the entire groupset IMHO.

The Sora sticker looks shoddy, otherwise it looks grand.

Thank you good sir.

Just curious why they're sold in Hong Kong though, and haven't been released to U.K retailers. Do the Far East get them earlier than us or something?

No idea. IIRC '13 sora is available on bikes already.

Ah, no worries. Need to get the bike first anyhow. But I want to switch over straight away one it's in my possession. I'll get the groupo off of eBay once I sell my current groupset.

Thanks for the help.
