So I had an idea to create the ultimate touring gruppo just for fun. For too long we have mixed and matched parts, and I want something that is Dura-Ace/Red/Super Record quality or better but designed for the wants and needs of touring cyclists. I figure this could be a fun way to pass the time and see what we might come up with.

I do want to keep it somewhat realistic-ish so "a chain that never needs lube and doesn't wear out" wouldn't cut it.
