Di2 - electric gruppo, anyone seen it?

[DarrenHunt]

Has anyone seen or laid yes on it yet?

We just got a bike in at work with it... AMAZING!!
its what 7900 should have been like. Its my new love. If only i could deal with the price tag.

it feels solid and sharp. the funkiest thing is the auto trim. no chain rub ever again.

Who thinks it will catch on? I was skeptical until i played with it...

share your thoughts. im interesteded to find out what people think

We have one in the office... its brilliant! Has already caught on as far as I am concerned.

Check the next issue of RIDE Cycling Review (due out April 17th) for a full report of building up our bike.

Now we just need the XTR version. Can you imagine riding $1,500 worth of rear derailleur through a rock garden

nope...

Di2 is sensitive to knocks... that is one area that worries me eg if you dropped the bike on the right side

Yep , saw it at the tour down under on some of the FDJ team bikes and on a couple of the neutral service bikes.
Really like the look of it and the levers fell great in the palm of your hands.

Not sure if that was like prototype gear and its since been improved or what.

And yeah as you can see its really good value too! http://www.competitivecyclist.com/r...-front-derailleur-and-wire-kit-5969.24.1.html

Pics in our mag... will be in stores 17th!

To be honest apart from the batteries it looks like like 7900 unless you look at the buttons on the levers.
