My favourite part is where they say "pricing is not yet announced."

Somehow I don't think this one will age quite as well as the others.

Not a fan of the later Ergo shape with the horns...
For mine, one of the sexiest-looking groups ever was 6400, pwned only by 7700. Although both groups are spoilt by the STIs... replace with 9s Ergos for ultimate porn.
Hang on a sec, lookie here:
Mostly 6400 with 7700 RD and front brake, plus 9s Ergos
As for a more modern look, I dig SRAM.

I want to know about the new carbon finish technique. That could be interesting.
I'm willing to bet the group looks MUCH BETTER in person or even better, dangling from a frame vs a low res picture on a computer screen.
OTOH I'm not really digging the logo. I'm withholding judgement until I see it in the wild.

Oh yeah, when it comes to external BB cranks, aesthetically Campy / SRAM > Shimano.
