Hi all, i am coming back to bicycling after 25 years and i'm wondering how groupsets today compared to those in the eighties and nineties, value wise.
So in the late 80s and early ninety's i had a bike costing around £800 which was a 531 professional bottechia frame with campagnolo chorus groupset, with mavic ssc rims.
What would be a comparable groupset quality wise, today and how much would i have to spend to get a bike of a similar quality?
I have read 1 or 2 posts around the interweb, which suggest that today's shimano 105 is better than campagnolo record back in the eighty's. Somehow I find it hard to believe, or is it true?
Thanks in advance, for any suggestions or advice.
