Thanks all. I did not realize that one could assemble ones own group on the Ribble site for the same prices. I decided to live with black, kept athena components where I could. As it turned out, the upgrade to a chorus crank was basically a wash given the tools required for PT. I "downgraded" to an Ultegra cassette in order to keep using my Shimano wheels. In a what the hell moment, I went for the chorus shifters -- we'll see if gear dumping is all its cracked up to be. Something to look forward to in the New Year for sure!
