My biggest irritation with compact digital cameras is the slow shutter lag times.

Nice pictures, ROLLIN. And a nice bike. Do you use those old wheels after you got the Zipps?
The iso is not adjustable. For that I use one of the 3 G9s or 3 5ds that are in the apartment (wife is a photographer).

Problem with cameras like the G9 on a bike is bulk and fragility. I take a lot of photos on the move, can't do that with a camera in a ziplock bag.

I do use the ESs when I travel and on longer rides, touring on tubulars worries me.
