Dura Ace, like XTR, is always a disaster, so the bar is as low as it can for those groups, but Ultegra had been a worthwhile choice for a long time, especially as Campag retreated into the highest niche of the market and Sram has made nothing but the worst garbage for all their road groups for years now.
The lack of a proper mechanical group with rim brakes is a fucking disaster. 12 speed sucks AND blows, too, since the cassettes don't offer proper gearing anymore. At least 11-speed Ultegra still had a reasonable 12-25 choice.
If you need mountain bike gears on your road racing style bike, find another hobby.
Too bad.
It's really fucking obscenely expensive, too.
Everyone running 1985 Super Record or a nice Superbe Pro kit looks smarter every day.
