Just saw this today http://road.cc/content/news/77271-shimano-unveil-new-claris-groupset what are your thoughts :
the only thing i care about really are the shiftersReplacing 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.

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.
you have a point technically is 2400 like sora new sora is 3500 (i think)Having a number would make life much easier. All the chainset's have numbers, but most people don't use them.

Like the new levers but the name is pants .
i made a typo its not clarus is clarisSounds too much like Chorus.
Indeed , i would buy it if my shifters died but the name does not inspire me...mind you most groupset names do not eitherWhat the heck does a name matter, if it works it works
