It was a full group and the chainrings had a really awful honeycomb styling. The stuff was inbetween DA and 600 and a few of the parts had the same part numbers as DA and some 600. It was a marketing failure and totally ugly after 5 miles on the road but worked really well. I still believe if they had changed all the white to black it would have done quite well.
