thanks for the feedback on Di2.
Why that bike? Great question. I like the idea of an upstart trying to get it right. I like the looks. Hard to judge the performance until I ride it. Like the idea of trying something new. Like the price and the 7 day money back guarantee if I don't like it... I like the technology with the built in computer and lights.
Plus, I like to try things different from mainstream. I love my Cannondale, super happy with it. Have carbon 50mm wheels on it and it has served me very well and never let me down. It is more bike than I am rider while racing. But on most weekends we pass a couple of people on one...
I was on the website and the wife looked over at the computer and said "you should get one". I asked why. Her response was "your bike is like our 997 S and this one is like a GT3 RS, only it doesn't cost more." How can I argue with that support??
Couple that with the fact that having a second road/race bike logistically helps me a lot, I figured would be worth the try. Having a spare bike (my current one) for my son and I to have access to, and having one for winter or trainer duty does serve me well.
Ok, fine, just a bunch of justification...
For some reason I really want to ride this bike and can't define exactly why. Sort of like when you see that car you just want to buy, but can't really articulate why it would be a good purchase.
Hence why I asked the collective here what they thought of the bike!
Cheers
