Campy Group Mixing
I posted this in the Road forum but I didnt get responses, I should have posted here to begin with.
I am in the middle (maybe the end of the begging) of a new bike build. I am 90% sure I am going to be using Campy on this bike, and if that is the case I am 100% sure I am going to be using carbon levers (Chorus?) but other than that im open to mixing groups. Here is my question: what is the performance differnce between Veloce and Centaur and is it worth the price difference/weight saving?

Judging from finish and looks, the Centaur is magnificent.

I am in love with grey Centaur, but now I am wondering if I should wait untill the 07 Centaur comes out, because of the new crank and carbon levers. There are so many options. I really do love grey Centaur though, maybe it will be cheaper when the new stuff comes out.

I bought grey centaur because i got a spectacular price. The finish is lovely, and it looks great. Spares may become tricky later on. Ribble Cycles in the UK is selling the chainsets for silly money (under $80). Don't buy one before I get my spares though
