Not sure if this has been posted somewhere at the TCC forum previously, but Sankei Shinbun has posted first pictures of the new Dura Ace 9000 groupset with 11 speed setup.

I tried to summarize the information from various blogs and sites on Cyclyng:
http://cyclitis.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/11-dura-ace-7900-entdeckt/
I am pretty sure that Shimano developed again a very reliable, high quality group set that will set an industry standard. This happened every time since .... 600 AX which was a sales disaster in the Eighties.
However in terms of design, I am not that sure. I always had my problems with the design of the Dura Ace crank set and I hated to see that design replacing the previous Ultegra and 105 designs in the group updates.
For me, Shimano is going a similar road like Toyota. Reasonable prices, excellent quality and technology, but nothing you would buy as a consequence of a sudden outburst of passion and lust.:angel:
