What would you do?

[Mortiroloboy]

Soon it will be my birthday, Mrs Mortiroloboy keeps asking me what I would like, I have told her to give me some readies and if any other family members ask her what I'd lke to tell them the same. Then I can do some upgrading!

My dilemma... Your assistance if you would. <ahem> Now, do I buy a Campy Mirage Groupset, currently on sale at Probikekit and fit it to my winter hack, currently running a mixture of Shim*no 2200 and truvativ, which will mean changing the freehub on my virtually new Aksiums, I could then swap the
R7's off my Wilier (short term) and look for better wheels come the Spring/Summer.

Or do I buy some better wheels for my Wilier to replace the Fulcrum R7's
(Wilier is all Campy G/S) and keep the basic, (but it works) mixture of Shim*no/truvativ which is currently on my winter bike.

Your thoughts most welcome.

Go get a Dura Ace Group set for the W; and an Ultegra one for the WH. Then get a set of properly built Open Pros on your shiny new DA hubs.

Or option two as you described.

Hope that helps (Smiley thing - I'm in quick reply)

Er, no, not really (so am I!)

Yep that has my vote. And here's a smiley thing

Sorry to seem ungrateful, but that's not really helping me, I can expect £100 from the Mrs, maybe, maybe, just maybe about the same combined from the rest of the family, plus the £140 I have 'hidden' away, so possibly a total of £340, so New wheels for the Wilier or an upgrade G/S for the SCR4?

 

[Dave5N]

As I said (but yu didn't read!)

Option two - new wheels for the Wilier

It's namby-pamby dogooding wishy-washy liberal political correctness gone mad!

New Wheels and tyres, Nothing feels better than better wheels

Parkers have got Campag Zondas @ £250 and Neutrons @ £325 a pair, so just remains to be seen how much wonga I get given, as to which pair I can afford to get, I have to say that the Neutrons do look very nice, both spec wise and visually too.
