I rent bikes pretty frequently when I travel. Invariably they are Shimano equipped. I'm riding a Scott CR1 with Ultegra this week. Every time I ride a Shimano equipped bike, I remind my friends to slap me silly if I ever mull the idea of buying one. It's just my preference, but it's a strong one that doesn't seem to be moving with exposure.
