Same feel as the Ultegra versions but just a little heavier. I bought this groupset used and it has served me well. I like the feel of the 105s over the SRAM rivals. Its just nice to have a completely different lever just for shifting down. Overall good group.

This groupset got a lot of the good technologies from Ultegra and Dura-ace, except heavier.
Integrated cables, the shifters are looking a lot like Ultegra except heavier. The crank now looks a lot like Ultegra and Dura-ace too.
In black, the crankset is even nicer than D.A. or Ultegra. Not lighter though. It's stiff, and it's doing its job well.
The price is lower on the 5700 compared to the 5600 and it's lighter than last year!
Can't argue, 5700 had a good update this year and if you have a chance to see the black version, have a look cause it's definitely worth it.
