OK, so I've had it with my old bike. I bought the bottom end trek road bike with Sora components just to see if I like cycling and tri. I could never keep the Sora components shifting properly and it seems like something was always wrong with the bike.
I'm researching new bikes now, I'm leaning towards a Cervelo P2k on the high end. I need to decide what level of components to get. I found a thread from 1/3/2003 on this forum concerning the issue but everything seemed to focus on there not being a MPH difference in the groups.
Is there a difference in the amount of maintenance required? Assuming that the MPH difference is so small as to not be a factor, what else should I consider? I have not been able to find any reviews comparing the groups, are there any out there? I know Tom D tried to write a review and did not get a lot of help from Shimano.
