The C-series is designed for hybrid/comfort bikes.
DX is shimano's BMX designation.
I'd also note that there seems to be less variability in the road
lineup than mountain. Tourney is crap. Sora is actually quite good.
My "entry-level" road bike has Sora components on it. I still think
it's great! It shifts quickly, accurately and precisely. While it's
true that I can't reach the thumb lever from the drops, I still like it.
I really can't imagine how the cost difference between any other group
would be worth it to a casual rider.
Yeah, I'm in the market for an entry-level road bike and I'll probably
end up with Sora, too. Wouldn't mind 105, but don't have the $ to plunk
down for it.
