Dear Pedal Wench -

Just when I had convinced myself to be open minded to Shimano, you come out with this! I'm a Campy fan and have been shopping for a new bike with Shimano. But I haven't ridden Shimano so cannot comment on the difference. Which Campy group do you ride, and is it 10-spd?

I too am just starting to shop around for a carbon frame, maybe to replace my steel Colnago, but haven't decided yet if this is the way to go. So far have looked at the Specialized Ruby Expert and Roubaix Expert. These have pretty much the same components.
