Shimano Clarus aka Shimano 2400

Just saw this today http://road.cc/content/news/77271-shimano-unveil-new-claris-groupset what are your thoughts :

 

[Lanzecki]

Replacing the 2300 chainset. No thumb shifter. Tripple, Compact and Cyclo cross options, and shifters for flat bars. Nothing that hasn't already been done.

Not sure on the name though.

Yea no thumb shifters. That's a big step and I'm sure very welcome.

Claris - what does it mean? - Japanese connection? I see that Clarus is Shimano's name for a range of their fishing kit. Think I would prefer a nice butch number - 2400 would do fine.

Having a number would make life much easier. All the chainset's have numbers, but most people don't use them.

Sounds like a good name for some sort of women's cosmetic.

What the heck does a name matter, if it works it works

Indeed , i would buy it if my shifters died but the name does not inspire me...mind you most groupset names do not either

The number 4 is considered unlucky in the far east.

That explains why my 6603 Keeps failing?
