You don't, you know. I am in the process of having a bike built for me in the hope that I will be able to keep up with the group I have ridden with for the last five years while I am recovering from the broken femur.
Because I prefer Campagnolo ergonomics and because I wanted to try something different, it will be running an Ekar group set with Winspace wheels.
If I wanted rim brakes I would have gone with Chorus. There are shops that will build up bikes with your choice of group set. Wrench Science is building mine for me.
