What is it with all of these Ultegra vs Dura Ace threads?
I am seeing a whole lot of overkill here....and the resurrection of 2-3 year old threads. I have never been one to say this before, but in these cases, I believe the search feature would have been quite useful.
and FWIW...I like my 105/Ultegra mix just fine
Cheers,
Brian

Three of the four that I saw were bumps by the same person (or linen item).

I believe someone started a new post asking about the difference between 105, Ultegra and Dura Ace so another poster bumped about 7 old topics covering the same ground. Frankly it seemed like overkill

I counted 13 of these bumped threads. Seems much more disruptive than a singe Dura Ace v. Ultegra thread. Not a proportionate response.

Heh, heh. Not meant to be proportional. Just funny. A bit of mischievous holiday cheer during a lull on BF.
It was also fascinating to see how many DA vs. Ultegra threads had been created over the years. But in life, many conversations are repeated on a daily basis (war in Iraq, for example -- no new ideas there pro/con, but people still argue it on a daily basis).

I think Towlie made his point. Now then. I'm shipping for a new bike. Anyone have an opinion on SRAM Force vs Rival?
