I'm just having my Dave Yates restored / resprayed by Dave Yates - when it comes back I'm thinking of building it up with campag Athena (always been shimao Ultegra on all my bikes to date). Anyone with experience of Athena they can share?
I've been running Athena for about 3 weeks now and can't fault it at all. Spent lunchtime climbing on it and both front and rear derailleurs worked crisply and faultlessly, and under load. The hoods are brilliant, and I got the carbon levers which I like a lot. Braking is decent enough, and its all very, very shiney
That all said I have literally zero experience of any other road groupset....
