Cheers, I'll probably never be at the top end but good to know what I'm looking for/at.

I think worst - best is a bit subjective.

You wouldn't want to use Dura Ace for winter commuting as all that grit and salt would take its toll and with those components costing an arm and a leg I think I would rank them as worst.

Tiagra/105 seem to offer the best of both worlds.

2300 and Sora still work fine and will give years of trouble free riding, they're just a bit heavier and use more plastic and steel instead of alloys and carbon.

Really with the Campag gear? I have my eye on a Wilier Triestina 2011 Road Bike @ £1115 and the derailleurs are both Mirage, that's bottom of the range stuff then???

To add to the list Campy Xenon; its been withdrawn but you still see it floating around. I thought Mirage had also been withdrawn and Veloce had become the new entry level campy groupset

 

[bennydorano]

what would you equate Campag Mirage to Shimano wise then? Tiagra?

 

[2Loose]

SRAM Apex seems to be a bit of an oddity at the moment, in that it is not really comparable to any of the other groupos in regard to its range... might be better to compare that to an mtb groupo at the moment, event hough it would be fundamentally wrong.

 

[youngoldbloke]

Campagnolo no longer list Xenon or Mirage, though there are still a number of 2011 bikes for sale with these groupsets fitted. Using up old stock???
