miche vs iro/nashbar

Would you rather have a full miche group or the iro february special with nashbar hubs, a nashbar seatpost and an fsa headset?

Depends, for street riding I would want an all sealed group. I would lean more toward the IRO/Nashbar. The Miche stuff is generally built for the track and is respectively good for track use.

From: Philadelphia, PA.

Bikes: two melton track bikes (one is a tandem), Fuji Pro road bike, cinelli unica, raleigh pro (modern raleigh)

a full miche track groups includes headset, seatpost, pedals, hubs, crankset, bottom bracket, cog and cog carrier. Price approx $450 for complete group.

some vendors offer abbreviated groups and delete say the pedals, seatpost and headset... for less bucks.

nice stuff... haven't used my group yet but I was impressed with the quality of the finish.

Mike
