In this case I can tell you that the Rival 10-speed you show in the photo is their older stuff before it switched to carbon. I have early carbon Rival and if works absolutely great. Better even than older Red. Really good stuff. Different in feel than 105, but every bit as good.
There was no need for your snobbish lecture, but thanks. I think.
