I am going to build my new bike with SRAM next year. I am currently riding Shimano on my road bike and SRAM on my mountain bike. I was stoked to hear that they were putting out a road line. Some riders from Team CSC were testing SRAM group in training rides last year. I have only read good things about there new group. I also know that my XO mountain Bike Group kicks a-- over XTR; which I road for years.
