Sorted Ultegra or Dura Ace groupset

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Shimano featured both downtube shifters and the combined units in the catalogue of this year. I'm more a fan of the downtube shifters
No, no, I did get that. I was only saying that back then pro's were very conservative when it came to new stuff. Some really kept on using cages and straps (and DT shifters) for quite a long time after "automatic" pedals and brifters were introduced.

I found the first brifters aesthetically a step back. It took shimano ages to introduce "aero levers" (with hidden cables) and when they finally had a decent looking cockpit, they introduced those "clotheslines". ;)
 
Yeah I'm not a fan of the combined units. I never used them on my road bikes or MTB's. Hell, I even refuse to use the word brif@&$
 
Still looking
 
No, but Campa had already its first electronic group in the early nineties. Never went into production, tho.
