Hi

I'm trying to get hold of a DA FC-7803 chainset with 180mm cranks (it's a long story but all I actually need is a RH crank). I'm in the UK and the 180mm size was never made available here.

Now that 7900 is out, lots of places are discounting 7800/7803 stuff, but don't have what I'm after. So I have to resort to the internet. Searching via Google I can find a few places listing the item, Jenson USA, Harris Cyclery etc. but at prices way more than UK prices (and I am going to have to pay postage and duty on top of this).

So cutting to the chase (finally!) where the best place to look. Obviously I've been on eBay, but are there any retailers than are maybe not so prominent on the web.

Thanks in advance

I am however not sure if they can stilll get the 180mm.
The only one listed as "in stock" is 170mm, while 180mm has more than 20 days delivery time. But try to ask them.

Yup, while I have had good experience with bike-components, do check with them beforehand if they have the 180 available... the one painful experience with them was related to my error in checking availability of an item.
Road bike: Cervelo R3, Campagnolo Chorus/Record mix...
Supercommuter: Jamis Renegade...
Oldie but goodie: De Rosa Professional Slx, Campagnolo C-Record...
And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

Yep thanks, I noticed that - I'll send them an email.

I'm not in a desparate hurry, so I can definately wait a few weeks - especially if I'm paying a reasonable price.
