Ultegra or 105 groupset?

Posted on April 13, 2010 at 12:54pm 3 Comments

Hi everyone,

I am deciding on a new road bike and not sure whether to lash out and spend the additional money for the ultegra groupset and better wheels or save the money for a holiday. Any thoughts from road riders - I am no racer but love my weekend rides

Cheers

Will
