I think this is a really good point. Still... I'm not intrigued by the electronic shifting in the least. I hadn't looked at the price of "new" bikes in well over a year and was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw that the high end Trek road bikes, "Madrones", are selling for up to $9000. There are also models selling for less but still... Wow. I know there are people out there that want this and I guess it's fine. Anyone following the Tour of California? It's been amazing to hear about how many "mechanicals" riders are having due to the weather (I guess). These are bikes that are maintained by professional mechanics and they're crapping out in the neutral zone of a race? Yeah, go for it, I'm sure electronic shifting will work much better. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
