Bikes: Bianchi 928L CV 120 year 2005; Giant Farrago Hybrid 2002

Centaur Triple

Relatively new to road cycling. Have a 928 monocoque CV 120 2005 model with Century Grey Centaur set. Had first accident with car pulled out from side street 2 weeks ago (5,500kms in 14 months) and written off most components except for rear derailleur and frame. I have option for new Bianchi Lugged 928 with Chorus but only double chain ring. We ride hills every week and I have got use to longer rides falling back to triple. I found that Centaur needed adjustment, particularly as fall to side can knock derailleur out of alignment with cogs slightly. Need to service and adjust.

Recent Cycling magazine rated Ultegra and DuraAce well above Chorus and Centaur. I prefer Campag due to quick changing of gears. Thinking on keeping carbon Bianchi as very used to true, reponsive ride.
