Shimano 105
'After a good month of treating the new version of 105 to numerous ill-timed, mid-incline gear dumping and frantic braking, we can't recommend it highly enough. Systematically doing what we asked it to do with the minimum amount of fuss, or issue, and with its new improved looks, unless you're racing every weekend or absolutely made of money you'd be criminally insane to even consider overlooking Shimano's 105 in favour of Ultegra.'
