I have two road bikes and two mountain bikes. Herself has two mountain bike and the road bike. All of them are using Shimano kit at the moment because that is what they came with. If I had to buy something I would probably stick with Shimano because it's least likely to cause problems if I start switching things around.
Campag Record every time,its lighter, better and cooler. Although I have strayed into the sub-culture of bespoke modified componentry; mainly from mad German composites engineering freaks. This stuff is very exotic and very light and very expensive, but not worth it as the performance is just the same, they become obselete very quikly - as herr Engineer seems to improve them on a weekly basis and they are impossible to replace
I prefer the Ultegra groupset to the Mirage - better feel, more precise and solid. Not a fair comparison though as Mirage is fairly low in the Campag groupset hiearchy.....
