>>1876218Claris is the cheapest actually-good groupset. Shifting in the front is only slightly worse than 105 (t. owns both) and if anything is actually better in the rear. Downsides are weight, less gears, no option for hydro disc if you want that, and bikes specced with it usually come with cheapo square taper cranksets instead of the proper series one (upgrading it would be ~$90 excluding tools).
