Have a retro road bike that's currently DT shifters, but want to bring the shifting up to date, but still cable braking.
Seems everything 9 or 10 is black. Ideally I'd like something silver arms and with tan hoods.
Looks like my only option is 105 (5700?) that can be found in silver and could then get some replacement 'hudz' in blue or white.
Is there anything else out there I'm missing?
Would be looking new or 2nd hand
10 speed Ultra 6600 is very nice and on a few of my bikes. External gear cables shift better too. They have silver and a grey version. The rest of the groupset is also lovely. Shimano deep drop road callipers are still based on this groupset (and also available in silver).
Shimano dura ace 7800 group not sure about tan hoods being available but the 7800 works very well and is all shiny high polished finish.
5800 105 was also available in silver but that’s 11 speed so might fit your wheel.
And is a bit of a step down from the 7800 10 speed stuff but much newer
Thanks all. Gives me a few things to keep an eye out for...bit taken aback by how much 2nd hand shifters currently go for on eBay though!
