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.
You do have to if you don't choose Camapgnolo.
And I wonder if next versions of their groups will even allow it. The point is we are getting painted into a "Campagnolo and/or NOS older generation and/or microshift" corner if we choose to continue to stick with cable shifting and rim brakes above entry level.
Next stop, C&V!
