thanks for the input guys. I'm just generally worried with equipment that's coming to 10 years of age and how much longer they'll last + the hassle of replacement parts.
Newer 105 would be nice, so I might just pass and keep looking or save my pennies for something better.
Are you looking to build a bike? Or are you looking to replace the group set on an existing bike? I ask because I have Shimano 2300, which borrows the same shifting style as the old Sora (thumb shifters / Direct Fire.) The overall workmanship on the parts is acceptable but the metals and materials do NOT feel the same as an old Dura-Ace groupset or even an older 105. We'll see how long my groupset will last.
For reference, my cousin's bike has Sora. That groupset is straight up broken and cannot be saved.

I'm currently looking at buying a used bike with a complete ultegra groupset (6500 I believe) and just wondering if its worth purchasing old tech over newer components at a similar pricepoints. I'm not willing to invest too much right now hence the cheapskate-ness

Got a link to the post? I'm sure the pros here can chime in with their knowledge.

It might be bc u didn't do a full Stanley park lap and it picked up another segment instead. Happens to me sometimes if I ride on the far left lane and take the inside line on the first bend

am i blind or did my garmin not even register my prospect point climb?
Holy. It's so cheap. I would just get it and when you're done with it, sell it back for the same price or try to make a few extra bucks off of it. I wouldn't worry too much about the age of the group. Just make sure it shifts properly and smoothly.

no time for a review this moment, but im 100% impressed with the shipping time (7 days free shipping) and the quality of the item.
It's sturdy, good quality, comes with 5 lenses (1 clear, two different yellow tinted ones one is darker, 1 polarized, and 1 ice blue), a case to hold everything, 2 nose pieces, and one useless strap.
BTW... for what it's worth, i did stanley park 4 times just now, and prospect point climb only registered once. not sure why. no one else was on the road except cars.
Invisible sky daddies commanding people to do shit is just so beyond retarded, I feel like punching myself in the balls until I shit my computer chair.

Casual evening ride with GREddie tonight. Took the False Creek / Burrard Bridge Loop back in to East Van. #nohomo
Edit: Just a 7 month update on my Reynolds Solitudes - I've put on just a bit over 1000km on them since December, mixed use of sprints, descents, hill climbs and what have you. I finally noticed a slight imbalance of the rear wheel so I think it may need to be trued. Keep in mind, I'm 200 lbs and as some of the guys I've ridden with claim that I lay down some serious power (which is bull.) My old Shimano RS10 wheels - I practically destroyed them.
All in all, a great wheelset especially for $250 - $300 on sale.
