• building this up: a Contini aero frameset that's been repainted Cinelli laser blue -

    Thinking at the moment about building it up with Athena 11v. The idea being one slightly of convenience - settling on 11 speed across the board. But I'm still not completely set on it yet though as I don't find it asthetically completely to my taste but I do like the ergonmics of the levers. Plus the cranks seem like a right faff, particularly the power torque ones.

    So I'm still mulling over going with something else, 105 11V as a possibility. Or just working out some other solution for the cranks. I've a 10V alloy Record set around that could work but I'm not too sure on the compatibility of those - I read with Campagnolo 11 the rings are closer spaced than previously (narrower rings or thinner spider tabs - not too sure).

  • Gorgeous frame, but paying over the odds for a faux-retro group can >>>>>> Power Shift Ergo and Power Torque cranks? No spanx.

    What does being 11 speed across all your bikes gain you (assuming this is what you mean)? Do you share wheels and cassettes?

    10 speed groups are the genuine article for (relatively speaking) peanuts.
