I'll give them a shot next time a shop is demoing bikes. I doubt that I'll own a set since my next rig will be a 1500 dollar one (I am thinking a Kona Dawg

) and for that kind of cash I'm expecting hydraulics.
I recently tested out a 2500 dollar
Cannondale and it looked like a very well made bike. Still, I would never buy a bike with that much proprietary stuff.
