Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Considering the pictured Cyfac. DA 7900 for 4,700 and Rival for 3500. Thoughts? Don't be over anxious to spend my money. Kuota Kebel (2008) offered at 3100, now leaning towards Cyfac waivering on which group.

DA and Rival are your choices? No Force or Ultegra to consider? Seems weird.

They will do anything I ask I am sure but this is what we discussed - as you (may) see the DA 7900 is on it - I think he quoted putting the Rival on because that is what is on the Kebel and it showed the 400 dollar difference between the two bikes. (Kuota Kebel and Cyfac)

Force or Ultegra SL might be wise to consider re: saving some money and still getting a killer set. Force will be cheaper than DA, but still be plenty light and nice to work with.
