After I sold my Orbea, I had no component group for my Blue RC7. I put together a mix of Force and Red. The front and rear derailleurs, the brakes, cassette, and chain are Force. The shifters and the 52/36 crankset are Red. It took me a few rides to get used to the shifting, but now it is starting to feel normal. I sure do like my new crankset. I went from 165 mm crank arms to 170s, so I was able to drop my seat down a little bit which is much more comfortable for my lower back. The shifting is very smooth.
I recently got some Zipp Team Edition wheels with Ti skewers. These wheels are the bomb. They are as light as Mavic Ksyrium SLs and are much quieter. I like a quiet wheel over one that makes that ticking sound. It lets me hear if everything is working properly on my bike. The Zipp TE wheelset is very light and responsive.
I am happy with my "new" RC7. It is more fun to ride with top of the line equipment.
