Bike-components.de seems to have R685 sets in stock.

^ You're right, you have to purchase calipers separately. Looking at it, R785 shifters, hoses and calipers set is not that bad. Sure the derailleur is big bucks, but still.

R785 is jsut a rebadged XT caliper isn't it? Price point would suggest so.
I'd have thought Shimano would have thought a bit harder about the design for road bike calipers (ok i know direct mount is coming but the actual calipers look like they'll be the same design)
