Add one in for a little while, log some hours and some miles on it then move it along so the next guy can have his fun with it.

Turns out its about the Components too.
Which is where C and V can be a let down...it's hard to take people talking about the joy of simplex derailleurs seriously after you've ridden 11sp Ergo. I grew up with DT shifters, and like em' ok, but compared to modern 11sp Ergo? It's unrefined, inconvenient, CRAP. Durability be damned!

One PB Turbo Superflash has more lighting capacity than dozens of the old SA rear lights hooked up to heavy generator hubs. Modern tech is just so much nicer, especially on the commuting stuff.
