Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This isn't a "what's your favourite" or "What should I get" poll, just a curiosity thing. It seems like the compnents on the lower end of the spectrum just aren't as popular. Let's hear what you've got. If it's a mix, select what the main group is.

Dura Ace myself.

Cole

BTW- this is for ALL your bikes. Vote as many times as you have bikes with different components.
edit -- Okay, nevermind. Looks like you can't vote more than once. Vote for the one you have on the bike you love the most.

Well both of my current bikes are full Tiagra (well the flat bar has the R440 shifters) but I just got off the phone placing an order for a full Ultegra build kit. I did vote Tiagra though as I don't HAVE the Ultegra stuff yet.

C'mon, you spent the money for it! Select it!

I'm gonna modify the qualifications. Just for you, ol' buddy!

I have 105... and the greatest thing is that I'm happy with it. I don't need to spend 600 for an ultegra kit. Not wanting to spend money on a bike is the greatest feeling.

full ultegra 9sp, 04' on the talon, butter'd silk smooth, quiet and seemingly durable enough, ive never had ghost shifts, or a prob when shiftin while hammering on the peds either, altho im not at peak power yet, still new and tryin to find time to ride in this cold weather.....oh the peds are speedplay zeros, also wonderful, cheepest computer money could buy at the time....and a set of f-16 aero's to achieve max-speeds.... what next... i was thinking new stem/bars.. mine seem abit narrow, but i'd like to go to LBS for a "pro" opnion or experianced fitter in NH area, if you know one i'll pay a little bit for fitting perhaps a case of beer?.... sorry for the shameless question (oh velomax circuit wheels too)

Since we can only vote for 1, do we just vote for the snazziest gruppo we have?

My new KG486 is adorned with Record, the finest that can be had if $ isn't a problem. My Volpe has 105 on it, bar none, the best value group (including Ultegra).

well, I have an ultegra cassette, 105 derailluers and crank, sram chain, and dura ace shifters. I voted ultegra, becuase i figure the dura ace cancels out the 105...

From: St. Petersburg, FL

Bikes: 2004 Raleigh Talus, 2001 Motobecane Vent Noir (Custom build for heavy riders)

My motobecane is a mix of 105, ultegra cassette and a truvativ elita crankset. Shifting is pretty smooth, and the cranks are strong like a rock.

My trek 1100 is a freakshow, suntour Edge 4050 components with a shimano IG70 casette, shimano 105 53t chainring, sugino 46t chainring, and hte stock on the small ring. Oh, and Sora hubs. The crankset has custom spacing as well, good thing the front shifter is friction.

For my mountain bike (off topic but oh well) it's DeoreLX with an XT rear deraileur and casette, and a truvativ stylo crankset. And WTB hubs.

So have I, obviously.

Shimano's top shelf goodies for 05, I love them. Fairly light, too. Currently looking to make a mad dash for low cash 7800 FD. That's all the 7800 stuff I'll want (for now!)
