I now am more aware how much more precise the rear shifts are on the Record 12 setup. Up front started off not as good as the 11s but after lots of miles it seems to have gotten smoother.
The 12s brakes are much better IMO, more power but every so often a bit grabby up front. That too seems to have mostly gone away over time.
However, I do think the RD on the 12s is plain ugly!

Good to hear, I am conflicted about building up a different bike (new Zank) with the SR-11 I have.. I kind wish it was 12, but 12 is so expensive..
