Each to their own. I bought the same one because I loved the colour.

My problem is that the 105 FD doesn't spring down to the small ring all the way. Meaning it sometimes doesn't shift down straight away, and when riding in 1st gear I sometimes have to push the FD in by hand to stop the inside chain-rub. It sucks having to reach down to your FD when you're climbing anything steep enough to require a 34x27.
