  • Hi. Just another query regarding groupsets. I would love to hang DA 7800o even 9000 if I can find decent 2nd hand. However I have been offered Ultegra 6700 in dark grey and compsite levers for £200.
    It seems a good price but am unsure. What does everyone think?
    Thanks

  • Naw, the 6700 and (respective Dura Ace series) are so ugly compared to 7800. You'll be happier waiting for 7800.
    Also I found that those last-gen 10sp shifters used to eat up gear cables at the shifter exit. Was a right ballache using needle nose pliers to extract frayed gear cable from inside a shifter let me tell you.

    7800 chainset is the best also.

  • Agree with all of that. Also, the shifting was infinitely better on the 6600/7800 series STI levers over the 6700/7900 series. Looks (exposed cables) aside, I'd go for the old style 10s shifters every time.
