Its been doing the rounds the last day or so so whats everyones opinion on these? Personally I think its a really good idea not everyone (myself included) can really afford to spend the money on saint parts, and im not sure if I could even tell the difference between a saint or a zee if someone put them on my bike.

It looks to be a good groupset.
it's nice that the manufacturers recognise a wider market for these types of components

Ha £230 for the new saint crank arms. I know someone always kicks up a shit about the price but wtf. I like the idea of the zee stuff, but what happened to companies selling you the best they could at the best price.

I paid about £100 for Saint brakes new from CRC and about £30 for cranks...very worn 2nd hand but resprayed em n stuck on new decals :)

Zee stuff does look interesting though, could do with a bit more gold blingy bits though :)
