Don't get me wrong.....Ultegra is nice. Just a tad better than 105 but it's only claim over 105 most being the slight and I mean slight weight savings for those posers who believe that few grams will make them a TDF contender on their backstreets!

I would opt 105 every time over Ultegra right now as the lineup stands unless Shimano made Ultegra something drastically better for a slight price increase or current pricing. Alot of that buying by folks and me in the past included was marketing! I fell for it like many. But not anymore!
