It's awesome. Save up for a new Chorus gruppo and some some lighter wheels. The old Shamals are cool, but they're anchors compared to stuff now. Very collectable, if you sell them it will go far towards your build budget.

Thanks. And yes, I know. I have a complete 9 speed Chorus group laying around, but that's going on an other MX Leader I'm building :-)

So, what the Max tubing like? Supreme ride (the triple Veloce is, well....not worthy)

The Max tubing is superb. Really stiff, it's exactly what I like. And yes, I know about the tripe ("drink triples, not ride triples") but the groupset was on there by the previous owner. He was an avid cyclist who went to France to climb mountains on an annual basis. So I didn't bother changing the whole thing, for now it does the trick just fine.
