I would describe the Victory groupset as quality performance/touring groupset. They are perfomance orientated to some extent, but they offered a great touring configuration in the 1st place. There were even off road possibilties, with triple and long cage mech. Later MTB specific groupsets lent from Victory.
Triomphe was the absolute bottom of the line and with Triomphe I would feel there is too much saving done. I wouldn't have that with Victory, but I would use it on right bike. A pure performance bike has to be Chorus, CdA or C-Record for me.
