I've got Athena on my steel road bike which I ride 99.9% of the time everywhere.
Maybe you should wear out the 105 first because Campagnolo doesn't wear out it wears in

Cheers,

The bike comes with 105, which is the obvious work-horse groupset for commuting, but I wouldn't mind chucking Athena on the bike instead...just because. Does anyone else commute with Campy, or should I just stick with 105?
I have a Kuota Kharma with a chorus groupset. I don't commute but ride it every other day. It's been great so far. Look on Ribble for good price on campy. May pick up Chorus for a better price than you realize.
Kind regards.

The new commuter is built up with 10 speed campy wheels, 13-29 cassette & brifters, KMC Chain, Rival RD & FD, RED 52/36 Cranks, GXP BB, and Shimano Canti's. Bits I had floating around surplus or got really cheap.
I am a firm believer in the Campag cables - way thicker than the Shimano/Gores and once again decently priced.

After about 500k so far on it I love the instantaneous shifting and feel. I've not ridden di2 or eps, but can't imagine it getting any better than this.
Will never go back to shimano.

Usually ride the 531 (about 5K a year) and it goes and goes and goes, looks scratched and filthy but keeps going as new.
The front wheel is a 90's Record hub (the rear record was stolen by some scumbag) on the original bearings.
I will ride on Campag until I go under the B Double.

Friday is when I take the Record shot Bianchi in. You got to enjoy the ride IMO.
