Bike Closet has some Force eTap groupset overstock deals - 1x or 2x road (HRD) groupsets in a few different configurations. I believe this is all 'D1', not the latest Force groupset that was just released.
These don't include chain, crankset, or cassette.
SRAM Force eTap AXS HRD 2x (6-bolt brakes) - $799

SRAM Force eTAP AXS HRD 1x (center-lock brakes) - $699

SRAM Force eTAP AXS HRD 1x (6-bolt brakes) - $599
https://bikecloset.com/product/sr...-bolt-kit/
Shipping is $10.
I'm thinking of grabbing the latest kit to get most of the parts I need to move my Rival Mechanical gravel bike over to wireless shifting, possibly pairing it with a Transmission rear derailleur and cassette. Or grabbing the 2x set to have on hand if I decide to build a new road bike... Decisions..

If this were wide range (long cage) I'd have bought immediately. So thanks!
I grabbed a SRAM Red 48T 175mm crankset from Universal Cycles for $300. Look around, I've seen some for sale.
If I was going 1x, would like it to be 10-50T (srams ratio ramp spread is Meh @ lowest gears in the 10-50, but the 10-52 only makes it worse) rear with a 40 or 42T front to keep it versatile enough.
Would love this RD to be wider range to at least have some value selling ...I feel like there will be too many in the used market and not enough demand.
*unlike some godly good looking 👌 thigh-model stars in SD who can climb Arette (claimed 40deg / 80% slope) with fixie gearing 😉
Cool. Which frame?

The magic with AXS is that they did not segment the shifter/briefter coms (yet...they did make sure chains, rings and cassettes are completely different between Eagle AXS, road axs & transmission, ffs), so this deal is not separated from long cage RDs, the contrary, if I was to buy this kit, it would be to eventually pair with a long cage RD, just on a drop bar bike.
If I was going for a premium MTB and not a gravel ride, I would go straight for a Transmission and I would not touch the AXS Eagle at this point.
