Strengths: Smooth, fast shifts with easy light touch, front & rear. Looks great. It's Italian, the only gruppo for a Colnago.Weaknesses: Can't buy it anymore! Have to get 11 speed, which is tres expensive!Bottom Line: Installed this group on a Colnago Master X Light I built. I have 5 other road bikes, all with Shimano, 105-Dura Ace. Most people compare the Chorus set with Ultegra, but it's better than the 3 Ultegra bikes I have, and the front derailleur shifts smoother & easier than the Dura-Ace on my Cervelo, but that may be because the DA is compact and the Chorus is 53-39, I don't know. All I know is it's my favorite group. If I could just get used to the different shifting system!!
Favorite Ride: The one I'm on

Strengths: Excellent gear changing in adverse situations i.e. like climbing out of the saddle.
Light, looks.Weaknesses: none that I know of at the momentBottom Line: Moved up from alloy square taper chorus circia 2003 to carbon ultra torque. I cannot believe how well an already good product can be improved.

I did buy last years non skeleton record brakes to go with this g/set cos they were lighter & cheaper. Also got the record pedals cos they were lighter than chorus & a oem record cassette for the light weight.

Strengths: Great performance and durability. I always wondered why people write about how good their components look.......but they do look really cool!Weaknesses: O.K., we know it is very expensive, no doubt. I think it is still a good value because of the durability of the product.Bottom Line: I have had many components over the years, and the Chorus groupset is clearly the best I have used. It is true that the choice is usually a prerence thing, and I have always favored Campy. Just my opinion. The Chourus group really is spectacular. I figued that I am not good enough to have Record on my bike! The shifters are flawless after 1200 miles or so. Crank, brakes, everything is very impressive.I have never had the bike tuned up. I am 6'2 and 200lbs and am still amazed how responsive this group is , mashing the shifters when climbing or sprinting. I would recommend this groupset to anyone that is looking for performance and reliability.

Strengths: Gained speed. Can climb far better. Very smooth and quiet to use. Positive and reliable operation.
Great looking, light weight. Saved money over Record group for very little weight/performance sacrifice.Bottom Line: Went from Centaur alloy square-taper with Veloce shifters and dérailleurs to the Chorus Carbon Ultra-Torque group. I was told how much better it would be, but was still amazed at the improvement.
Fitted and adjusted the group on the bench has worked flawlessly ever since.
