Missing teeth, eschewing of carbon, little ceramic balls and some
trim. There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere....

While the WRX may look a bit chintzy, you only see it for a moment,
and only from the back so I guess it doesn't matter...
I agree about the graphics on the Red stuff. Might be cool at the
moment (to some) but I doubt it will age well. But I suppose that may
be intentional.

I understand your sentiment, but I think that the design of the double
tap shifters is very smart and innovative. The Rival group certainly
has my interest*.

*Though I'll probably stick with my SS or Shimano 600 with DT shifters.

/me whips out Visa fast enough to cause a little sonic boom.
GIMME! I was on the fence, but that compliance has me sold! Does it
come with the low link count chain?

Compliance? So very 2006.
Hollow pins! Creates 'good turbulence' so your drive train just slips
into a headwind while you sit back and watch.

sure they could... they didn't mention once how laterally stiff yet
vertically compliant the brake hoods are, for example.

The joke is Buycycling Ragazine pretending to be anything other than a
hype machine for advertisers. Could those comments be anymore
breathless and fawning?

Get 'em early, then make the 'real' group, and charge a bundle. Sure
would have liked to see the FD trim feature on first gen Force and
Rival, my big complaint with this and 2007 Centaur and below. Flashy
looking as well, graphics wise-like shimano and Campag better..seems a
little more 'pro' looking. Kinda like no chrome on a Porsche vs a
plastic festooned Subaru WRX..
