Sora is actually the lower level in Shimano.

To clarify: Shimano's road line is--from low to high end: Tiagra, Sora, 105, Ultegra, Dura Ace.

Do you wonder whose job it is to come up with these names?

I'm just embarrassed because I thought she was asking about gearing, so I wrote a dissertation on that. In rereading her question, I see that she was expressing confusion about groupsets. Or maybe not. It's not totally clear.

Actually according to Shimano's web site it's, from low-end to top-end:

2200
Sora
Tiagra
105
Ultegra
Dura-ace

Grog. Thank you....I was obviously mistaken. That, and I've never even heard of Shimano 2200!

And I was just afraid of overwhelming Madison. Which I think we still successfully did!

Probably so. Heck, half the time I manage to overwhelm myself!!!!
