Awful Taste But Great Execution

Edit: nah, not even awful taste. Its a weird choice, but I could see that on a Master coming together very nicely. It's definitely not worth £2k to me, but its very nicely done.

Yes, definitely ATBGE. For me, the mistake people make is, Potenza or Athena are not Record. They're nothing like as nice as 1999 9-speed Record would be on a lovely old frame. If doing MGOOF then you need at least modern Record.

But what if you don't like black plastic? If you want an all metal mechanical rim brake groupset these days, it's Tiagra or nothing. If you want it shiny, it's nothing.
