Myth: Campy is pricier ... gotta look at comparable groups. Their shifters are cheaper. I did budget Campy Centaur 10 conversions for $350-$400. I'm sure you can do Shimano SRAM equivalent for the same, depending on what you want (New, slightly used, NOS ... combination of new/used)

You can probably get away with using your old crankset if you want. I'm still using mine on one of my conversions.

Intence: Nice, but you left out Campy ..... I'm not a "Campy is best" guy, but I like it and it's worth considering.
