Campy for my peg

[choke]

When I bought this it was full Chorus 11. Like you, I felt that it needed silver parts so I replaced the Chorus with Athena. The only Athena parts on the shifters are the levers/blades, which were installed on the Chorus bodies to give me alloy Ultrashift.

Frankly, if I was to do it over I'd have went with alloy 10sp.

I like the Athena group and was considering it during my build. In hindsight, i should have gone with Athena as I think it complements my peg and the wheels very well. can't go wrong either way. have fun.

Are those delta brakes? Looks great, thats my favorite peg paint scheme too.

Thanks. Yes, they are Croce d'Aune Deltas. I prefer them over Records as they have more clearance for larger tires.

None of the above. Chorus 11 (with Chorus calipers), $1060-ish, shipped from Ribble. A Pegoretti deserves nothing less, imo. Here's mine, full 2013 Chorus (compact) with Record calipers.

You only live once.

I hear you. You could make the same argument for slamming the stem. But the fact is, I am first and foremost all about what performs best for my needs. I just turned 60 and my flexibility just isn't what it used to be. I also live on a road with 2 sections of 18� and 20� grade on it. That said, I wouldn't mind having one of the new ('ugly') Campy cranks with the exchangeable rings....

Don't know why. I guess on my Molteni Merckx I should have a 52/42 and a 13-21 freewheel, and clips and straps, but no thanks.

I think that Climb is pulling your 11 speed chain.

This. Just having some fun. Pegs seem best with traditional bits, but even more so, Pegs are best just plain ridden. So whatever bits make you smile while riding, those are

So it looks like a proper race bike and not a cross bike. Just a minor aesthetic concern...
