In y’all’s opinion, what is the best mid-range mechanical road groupset? My BMC Team Machine SLR01 from 2011? is equipped with Dura-Ace 7970 Di2. The rear derailleur is broken. I wanted to keep it the same but 7970 rear derailleurs on eBay go for so much. I just found one for $300, I’m broke tho so no no. My plan is to get a new groupset for it when the time is right. Will there be mechanical issues for a new drivetrain on a over decade old road bike? I purchased it second hand years ago, gave it to my brother, he crashed it pretty bad after maybe a week or two, replaced a bunch of small parts, cockpit and saddle. The bike shop informed me about the rear derailleur issue when I picked it up, and recommended I go to R&A cycles in Brooklyn as they carry a lot of older components. The bike just sat in my house, then I got hit by two cars last year, fixie disappeared, decided I’d use the BMC as a recovery home trainer bike. I could go low end, cheapy but I can hold out and save a little more than usual, hence mid-range groupset hunt. I only have a picture of it from when I first purchased.
