SRAM on a Ribble Sportive

[Monsieur Remings]

Evening all. I have decided to buy Ribble's New Sportive Racing but have put together a spec. through the bike builder using Mavic Kysrium Elite's for wheelset and a full SRAM Rival groupset. I know the reviews have been centred on the standard £1000 machine with Campagnolo Veloce....so, would be most interested to hear from other cyclechatters who have either bought this frame/bike, groupset and wheelset and how you think they might work out together.

I know it's a personal choice and all but any thoughts would be welcome...

The only thing that ur getting that i have tryed is the Sram Rival, and they are excellent, have tryed 105 and campag equivilent and the changing on the SRAM double tap means that ur hand is in the same possition to go up or down, where as u have 2 use ur thumb on campag and the whole leaver on shimano. Also the SRAM leavers are interchangable with any shimano components from what the LBS said, so upgrading or soucing parts when things break is very simple.
