    Unless you are uber rich, or big time racer (an elite rider), go with Chorus and save $$. Thought the price difference was still pretty big to me.

    Braze on or clamp on for the FD? I would imagine that yuor Colnago comes with braze-on. so not much choice there. I don't think you get a choice. Its one or the other cause the frame will dictate it. Now if your bike does not have a braze-on, then you could get an adapter/collar and use a braze-on FD.

    If you want to keep the BB that came on the bike, you'll need the older square-taper cranks. The newer Ultra-Torque cranks don't need a traditional BB - they use 'cups' that screw into the BB.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Some of the groups I have looked at come with a BB...is it worth replacing the older BB that is on there with a new one? I know I need the IT BB but if it is just a matter of getting the square type crank, nothing else, I will keep the one that is one there, if it is going to throw everything else off, I will replace it?
