What type of derailleur/hanger is it? I haven't had a chance to look at the d8 up close.

I saw some of the bike fridays use road standard parts. I'm guessing that that's a exception to the rule. Only reason I am looking to upgrade is because I'm the type that always, always, always upgrades. Constantly, not just once but a few times over the course of time I have the bike. For instance I upgraded a road bike to 105 but now I'm in the process of going all dura ace. I've seen pics of bikes overseas with crazy build specs, of course they aren't a Eco or d8 but that's all that is in the area. The d8 is the only new folder available and the Eco is well used. Sometimes there's another model popping up on cl but honesty I've never thought about it until I decided I wanted to fly with a bike instead of picking up a rental car.

Current location....Maui Hawaii.
