dia-compe do specific aero levers, the 287v for v-brake as these require more cable pull than standard caliper or canti's. they are a real pain to set-up! as for gruppo go with the XT if you want conventional gears as its super-hardwearing and reliable but consider the rohloff but it all depends what you want to do. i think sherpa's are only conventional set up though! good luck
