This is a great frame (riding a 595 ultra myself).
very comfy, yet stiff (the Epost is great at soaking bumps).

i have mine built around campy chorus 11 speed and neutrons. a great ride.

enjoy the process :)

Beautiful frame. If there is a budget, I'd spend more on the wheels than the groupset, unless of course, you already have the wheels.

Have been playing with the idea of campag , I've been life time shimano user never let me down , but campag does look far cooler ! Decision time I guess

Lovely frame. Cofidis color scheme right? Would look much better with Campa on it IMHO than Shimano. Add some low profile wheels with tan sidewall tires or Vittoria Pavé tires and you have a fantastic bike.

I came off Shimano some 7 years ago (from DA 9 spd to chorus). been since on chorus 10, record 10 than chorus 11.
You cant go wrong with campy (not that shimano is bad :-), i have become a campagnolo "addict").

Try it. i would guess you'll soon be a campag convert.
