Yea but the Tiagra has a triple option, actually giving a wider choice of gearing.The new Tiagra (4700) is very good - a major improvement on the old Tiagra (ie the original 4400), which was a bit agricultural. The differences with 105 and Ultegra now are minimal in practice.
The main reason to go for Ultegra/105 rather than Tiagra would be for the 11th sprocket.
Actually the quote is pretty accurate, I can match people on segments on £3000+ bikes yet mine cost £300The biggest load of bullshit ever written, by a drug taking fraudster
It should read " dont ride upgrades, take amphetamines and fly up them instead"

I have 105 and Ultegra (2 bikes) - apart from weight there is no difference, actually my 105 shifts slightly smoother! But having said that, Ultegra brakes are more powerful and it looks good. I'd go for Ultegra; you only live once!Rapidly approaching my 50th birthday to the old N+1 equation is upper-most in my mind! However, just wondering if it`s worth the added expense of Ultegra on a new bike. I`m certainly not going to be winning any races lol
At the minute, I have a Cannondale Synapse that runs Tiagra - what would the difference in getting Ultegra actually mean to me?
Cheers in advance
It means the engine is the most important thing not kit.If the OP is seriously considering Ultegra then he's probably not interested in a triple.
Woo! Yeah! Go you.
That means absolutely sweet fark all.

The point was the quote about upgrades.I've overtaken roadies on my Brompton. Maybe the op should get a Brompton.
