Shimano Ultegra 6700 Drivetrain & Brake Kit

Works great, doesn't break the bank

Ultegra is a great groupset, and works very well when all the components are matched. Hard to find any fault with.
The crankset is the smoothest shifting I've found so far.
It may be a tad heavier than the Dura Ace, but I don't think it gives up any of the benefits. Shimano is the master of trickle-down tech, and this would have been top tier just a few years ago.
Looks great, works flawlessly, and is well worth the investment.
Sadly, the new 11 speed Dura Ace will overshadow this fine group with it's new features. Could this become a current classic groupset?
I use a 105 12-27 casette (as well as 12-25 and 11-28 Ultegra cassettes on the other bikes), works just as smooth as the Ultegra cassette.

Pros: Matched component group works like glass. Chainring design aids in swift, smooth shifting. Brakes are very powerful, but easily modulated.

Cons: Will be overshadowed by the new Dura Ace 11 speed.
