is C&V what is wrong with searching on Yahoo? I am not sure I ever googled something.
OP: from the top down it has been Dura Ace, 600/Ultegra, then 105 for years except the 2 or so years Sante was sandwiched in between DA and 600.
below 105 I beleiv RSX is still next followed by Tiagra but back in the early '90s RX-100 was the next step down and the 500EX, 400EX, then Exage groups.
VeloBase may be a bit easier to find the group rankings.
