Hello,
Sante was a step below Dura Ace, offered as a complete group and was very nice. The only thing was some restricted gearing choices (I think a 25 max? rear). Interesting that neither 600 or Dura Ace had this restriction as I remember. I have a friend who stil rides a full Sante Paramount (175 cranks no less!).
