On the bizarre off chance that this is genuine I will give a serious answer
How does this entry level Ford compare to a Ferrari

Stan, et al:
Actually, while the difference in quality is very significant, your response does not actually
address the differences. A Ferrari will differ from an entry level car in that it will be
essentially a lot faster and will have comfort differences that will also be significant.
With components, there is little difference in perceptible overall performance between a low level
group and a high level group. Hence, if a cyclist were to ride a bike with low level components vs.
a high level components he would not notice any significant differences in performance. At the same
time, if a good racer had well tuned RSX components in his bike, he will probably do just as well in
a race as if he had record components. I have seen, and so has everyone else cyclists with low end
bikes having no problem outperforming cyclists with the best equipment.
This does not mean that there are no differences. Record components will certainly last a lifetime
if properly cared for. RSX components will not last as much. Record components will be significantly
lighter, so a bike with record components will be a lot lighter when you pick it up and it has
record components. Although, this difference will not be that perceptible while riding. Record
components will have a much better finish a would look a lot better to the trained eye.
In essence, record components will last longer, will be lighter and look a lot better. They may
also have a slightly better feel to some. They also cost a lot more. A more acurate analogy would
be between rolex and timex. Rolex has better finish and lasts longer. However, timex will perform
just as well.

Andres Pretty much the point I was making although Rolexes are heavier than Timexes (Timexes, is
that a word...well it is now)

I put my Dura Ace in the back of my RSX.
When Honda stopped making a Civic hatchback I had to get the Acura RSX.
So, go for the Shimano and the RSX. I did.

RSX is shimano lowest quality. I don't think that line is being made anymore. Record is Campy's
best. It probably costs 4 to 6 times as much.
Personally I would not buy anything French. Have you looked at Shimano 105 or Ultegra?

That's a personal choice obviously, but what the hell does this have to do with Shimano and
Campagnolo? Campagnolo is as French as Shimano is Chinese.

Campy is Italian. Mavic is French. Confuse the two in France (or Italy) and you might be sporting a
black eye....
If you don't want to buy French, you'd better get rid of a bunch of stuff on a bike... They make
good bike parts. Tires, wheels, etc. You may as well boycott German parts too.
I remember not too long ago that people didn't want to buy Japanese.... Go figure.

You're right...go buy American, all the time. That way, after the Chinese designers get the prints
over to the Taiwanese manufacturing plant before final assembly in Mexico, you've paid for the
dinner of a couple white guys in suits.

I don't. But until someone (country) comes out with something better (functionality, durability and
value), I guess I will continue to buy Toyota's and Honda's.

Actually, economists estimate that when you spend monies in a community it switches hands three or
four times impacting everyone within that community. So, you buy campy record, Tulio gets the bucks,
and takes a trip to France (part of the European community) and spends the bucks there, and that's
it. The French will have monies to build mirages, exocets and other weapons of mass destruction!!!
Down with the italians, they speak a romance language and are part of the same european community.
Think about it, what kind of $$$ do italians use? Euros and the French? Euros
and sadam switched to euros to trade with the french. Campagnolo, saddam, france, mavic, shimano,
north korea are the axis of evil.
