Road Groupo?
I have a New Waterford frame to build up in the next few months and I looking for some advice on going with SRAM or Shimano for the component groupo. If anyone has some feedback it would be very helpful as I keep going back and forth on what to build it with. I'm traveling to Quality Bicycle Products in the Twin Cities for the annual FrostBike dealer show next weekend and I'd like to get this figured out so I can make a purchase at the show and get this project road ready for Spring.
JUST RIDE…

Well everyone knows I have a bit of a SRAM bias, but I have run all three of the big guns, SRAM, Shimano, and Campy. Between Shimano and Campy I really like the Campy shifting better.
I really didn't get to fully test the SRAM yet but esthetically and ergonomically I think it is much more pleasing than Shimano. The cables run under the bar tape which is always cool. The levers and hoods fit the hands way better and I really never liked the Dura-Ace crankset. Even though it's light it just looks chunky. I also like the fact that you can get an 11/26 cassette with the SRAM. Good for people like me who like to spin but still need the speed of an 11.
Marko has been running the Force for a few weeks now and he gave it a good review. For sure my Dura-Ace is soon going to be up on Ebay so I can replace it with a Force group.
Thanks MG. SRAM is at the top of my list. I also liked the lever/hood ergos with the clean cable routing along with fitting my hands well. Getting the red hoods could be the deal maker and maybe they would make me as fast as Marko...
