Enter the Groupset conundrum for the SS Strada frameset

Sram Red with Zipp 353 wheels

OR

Campagnolo Super Record EPS with Bora Ultra WTO 45 wheels.

i know right, first world problems!

 

the heart says Campy

the head says Sram

 

Reasons:

Could you imagine how good this bike will look with the campy groupset. Hang it on a wall and call it art!

The catch is the Bora WTO 45 wheels. this is a Ti bike and should be built with the end vision of comfort. The Bora WTO 45 wheels have a rather narrow 19mm inner rim width and are optimised for 25mm tires. They are expensive and my head says the narrow design is rather yesteryear.

So while they look jaw dropping i cannot see them being as comfortable as a more modern 25mm inner designed rim clad in 28mm rubber.

NB aero aside on this one - its not the point of this build. i want comfort.

Pretty much all other major players have already moved to 25mm Inner rim width.

ENVE's new SES 3.4s are now 25mm inner rim width.

Zipps 303 Firecrest and 353 NSW wheels are both 25mm inner rim width.

so the Sram build starts looking like the best bet.

but then again - this would look so mint with the campy kit

 

i'm not a fan of mixing up a campy groupset with non-campy wheels - its just a no go on the visuals side.

 

are you talking to yourself.....?

After your first sentence there was no need for more letters to die. Campy Campy Campy

Gotta give it up to campy on their wheels.

best looking finish in the business!

and the bearings! I spun the wheel on a jig I have and it rolled for ages. I mean it just kept going and going and going.

and when it could not do full revolution anymore the wheel proceeded roll back and forward for what seemed like an age!

 I think I’m going to make that my new party trick when in the presence of my cycling mates

[Furbz]

Question for the hubbers.

black or brown tape?

I’m leaning toward brown

[ChrisF]

Black

 

That FRAME is the focal point.

 

 

Keep on getting an "uncomfortable" feeling when I stare at that frame .....   That is PURE ART !

[Jewbacca]

Brown bar tape is basically tan wall tires..... sies
