I just picked up a 595 origin in white to replace my 585 ultra.
I am trying to decide if I should build it up Pro-Tour like just as Credit Agricole or my own combo of WW items.
CA team bike replica- I like replicating the Pro team builds. I have a complete Dura Ace group on an old bike that would look great on the 595. I like the crisp shifting of DA. However, I am having a hard time finding PRO components (bar and stem) in the US though. Does anyone know where to get PRO components?
WW- I also have a SRAM Force (shifters and derailleurs) / Campy Record (cranks and calipers) combo that would shave 300 grams off the full DA group. I like the ergonomics of the SRAM shifters and less weight on the bars. However, its a mis-matched group set and doesn't look as nice.
Other than just ride it- what would you do?
