To me the 7.9 looks so antiquated next to the 7.7. Especially up around the head tube. You know the 7.7 frame is the Madone 3 series frame? I wish it had 105 components instead of Tiagra, but I'm very happy with my Deore stuff on my Mendota, so the Tiagra is likely just fine.
I always thought Deore was the MTB compliment to the 105 group and Alivio was the MTB version of the Tiagra group.
