grizzly Bike Setup:
Currently Wilier izoard with ultegra and fulchrum 0's. Summary:
I just have to add, in response to the previous review, that I am about to build up a Ridley, '10 Damocles ISP frame and have been researching the Dura ace vs. Record/super record or even chorus debate for some time. Based on my analysis I am definitely going with da 7900. My best friend and main riding partner just got a new Ridley helium and record/super record combo gruppo and has been having nothing but problems. It keeps coming out of gear on steep climbs. We go to perhaps the best lbs in the city of fresno, and it still has problems.
The basic information I have gathered is that campy is more precise when it is working perfectly, but shimano is a workhorse that will keep working under harsh conditions and is so much less finicky. It is kind of like a ferrari compared to a honda. I am going with the honda because I am not on the tour and I don't have a car following me when I ride! Strengths:
precise when adjusted correctly and often Weaknesses:
finicky and prone to problems if you are a sloppy person without a car following you from a pro-team. Similar Products Used:
ultegra (solid!)

Santa Barbara roads Bike Setup:
Scott Addict, Record 11, Reynolds KOM wheels - drops just under 14 lbs for a 58cm bike! Summary:
After spending four years with Dura Ace 7700 and four more years with 7800, I thought I'd give Campagnolo Record 11 a try. Now that I've got over 1K miles on it, I must report that I sure miss my Dura Ace stuff!
To begin, I certainly miss that half pound of extra weight. Now I have to drop a whole gear to get the same work! I also miss the trimming I had to do so often - practically every shift. The shifting precision I now have leaves me with nothing to do but focus on the road! I also miss the out-of-sight warrantee program Shimano has (Campy guarantees this new line for 4 years). Once you're out of site of the shop, you're on your own. I probably went through three right shifters and even a left shifter during my Shimano days. Nothing rebuildable here. One notable design quality of Shimano that I'll be missing is every time the shift cable breaks the tiny nub risks droping down into the tumblers - shifter is done! Campy, try and beat that design - it's ingenious. Finally, I'm sure gonna miss that shiny metal look - especially once it gets scratched. That scratch remains for life.
See ya Shimano. (OBTW, congrats to shimano on hiding the shifter cables on your new 7900 line - wonder where that idea came from??) Strengths:
Solid Warrantee, beautiful, rebuildable, light, precision Weaknesses:
Cost - look around, it's not that expensive. I paid less that SRAM Red for my Record group Similar Products Used:
Dura Ace 7700 and 7800
SRAM Force - cheap
