I just installed my first bit of Dura Ace kit

Fitted a 7900 bottom bracket to my Ribble TT frame and oh my was it easy, the threads on the frame looked a rough but the BB went in so smoothly and tightened right up with only a few turns of the BB tool, now this might sound normal but i've fitted dozens of BB of different makes & types and none of them were this easy, I can't wait to install the rest of the DA kit :D

I recently took delivery of Shimano Ultegra & Campagnolo Veloce groupsets the latter looks and feels very cheap, the Shimano 105-Dura Ace looks the same apart from the DA shifters I can't help feeling they are the same.
Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
