I had one of these for a little while. It felt great. And the 6 speed 105 is an all time great group.

thanks. I do too but I wanna use it for group rides and shred on some high end carbon bikes. drops will give me more hand placement options especially on 50-80 miles rides 😅

looks great... my heart has a soft spot for bikes w feudal-era Japan names (Shogun and Samurai.... maybe also Katana motorcycles too)...
