I was thinking of getting a good frame and equipping it, as far as possible, with the best components ever made (a bit ambitious maybe?), regardless of whether or not they formed a groupset. I'd be looking to build a 10 or 12-speed for all-round use.
Is there any sort of general consensus about what was the best derailleur, the best brakes, best hubs, etc, within our time frame? My exposure to bike parts is limited mainly to pre-1970s stuff so any thoughts on the subject would be much-appreciated.
This wouldn't be about the frame so it's not necessary to have Italian parts on an Italian fame or French parts on a French frame. I have no prejudices when it comes to marque or country of origin so Shimano or even Campagnolo would be acceptable. ;->
