I found the stock 2x9 Shimano Ultegra 6500 groupset flawless but parts always get harder to find with older groupsets.
Thanks!
This is where my novice experience shows. Are putting more recent 10 speed group sets (e.g. Tiagra 4700) risky for this frame? I'd love to find the original group set, but as you indicated that may be challenging. Is there anything in particular I should pay attention to when looking at newer components? The majority of the responses on this thread have been unanimous on ensuring that all the components fit with another, but are there any considerations for newer grouppos on this frame?
