If you wanted an auto shift bike, wait for campagnolo to release their fully electronic derailleur.
I'll bet you in about 2 years, they're gonna make a version with not only manual electronic shift but also programmable full auto shift.

So say you're taking it easy, you put your colnago on automatic and let it shift for you.
Say you're climbing and you want to stay in a certain cadance you like or even torque, bam, programmable on the fly.
Wanna work on your spin? Program it to maintain 90rpm. Want to mash? set it to 60.

I wouldn't bother with landrider, if I ever found that piece of debris at my door, I'm gonna burn it.

BTW: when they get to the part about, "you sit upright, so you get better visibility", watch the young lady riding a foot away from parked cars almost get doored and she has to swerve out into traffic to avoid it. How the hell is that better visibility? "Oh, she saw the door and avoided it in time!"
