    I assume you mean SRAM Red or Dura Ace?

    Tough call....and a personal choice for most.
    Both are excellent.
    SRAM Red is lighter and it's what I use.
    I always used shimano before I changed to SRAM Red.
    I think it's great.....especially when you can brake without the brake levers swinging inwards like Shimano's can.

    :D

    Which one???? Either / or
    Why??? Both good stuff
    Better for 1500??? Pretty much none better at any cost. Key word is BETTER.

    I currently use low spec Shimano but I am getting a new bike and I have specced SRAM Red. I tested Campag Record (10sp) and felt that the SRAM RED was crisper and more intuitive and also definitely, for me, easier to use on the drops.

    My 2p

    If they did a planet x with super record then that would be in there as well... Campag is beautifull

    I'm thinking about buying one of these bikes in the not too distant future. I would probably prefer the SRAM Red version, but the fact that you don't appear to be able to customise it really puts me off.

    +1. Buy the Dura-Ace, flog the parts on ebay, use proceeds to buy SR from Maestro. Sorted.
