If you want a matched group go with the Victory w/ the C-Rec wheels.

I don't know why everyone pooh poohs the Victory and Triomphe groups. The RD dimensions are the same as a SR/NR and the shifter insides are the same so shifting isn't much different. The unique angular styling of the crank appeals to me but I wish they would have made 172.5 arms. Unfortunately time and hording seems to have eliminated any hope of actually being able to use the smaller chain wheels the 116 BCD made possible. The caliper mounted QR is only open or closed but how many of actually use the myriad of positions the barrel of a SR/NR caliper make possible?

Be you own guide if you like Victory use it! If you want to spend money to complete the SR group and ride with the crowd do that.
