Why not a 600 group? No it's not Mavic or Zeus, but ,,, so what, it's still a quality reliable groupset. The parts are in excellent condition. In my geographical area it's hard to find anything that's not corroded or damaged beyond what I would want seen on my bikes. Most bikes around here in my price range are Cannondale or Trek. I have 2 bikes that are full Campagnolo. I also have one with a full tricolor groupset that rides just as well. And one with......GASP!!! 105,,does that make them not worth using??? This 600 set may be "vanilla" in your opinion but vanilla is good from time to time.
