A lot of us suffer from an embarrassment of riches.
I'm currently re-configuring my bikes to Sram 11 speed from 10 speed.
What I've got:
Groups
Red eTap
Force 22
Red Yaw 10 speed (just need shifters to make it 11 speed)
Bikes
Serotta Pronto - Race Bike
Serotta Attack - No specified purpose
(inbound) Zanconato Steel - Geo will be very close to the pronto, so occasional race duty but not the primary race bike.
Logic is telling me not to race something I can't afford to replace easily, which is leading me to want to pull the eTap group off of the Pronto and potentially put it on the Zank, while I'd originally planned the Force 22 group for the Zank.
If I can find shifters the red 10 speed-converted-to-11-speed would likely end up on the attack. BUT, Red 22 shifters are selling for as much or more than what I could purchase a Rival 22 mini-group for.
The thought then turns into 'well, maybe I should buy a rival 22 mini group for the pronto, put the force 22 on the attack, and the etap on the zank, sell or hang onto the red yaw 10 group...' which ultimately makes me question 'isn't the pronto worth more than rival?'
I don't really know what my point is in posting this -- maybe someone will come along with some sage wisdom or just help me talk out my decision making process, lol.
What would you do?
