BTW, I'm having a custom built frame for commuting/light touring built right now. 9 speed drive train gives me a wide ranger of cassettes in the rear, longer lasting chain. We sourced a used 105 9 speed set of brifters for this bike. I can always go with new Shimano Tiagra if I want to stay with STI or shift to bar ends.
