Only complaint is the lack of a concealed housing option. That is the only issue I've found. Rolling the 2013 9-speed option and out of three road bikes (including a new bike, Scott, with 105), prefer it. Actuation is much crisper and ergonomics are significantly better for my hands.
Also have a 10 speed white Arsis set that suffered road rash in a wicked accident. Still work great, but look rugged.
YMMV. Everyone's fit is different. The value is there.
Slightly OT: Is that a BD gravity frame that has been powdercoated / painted in that matte black finish?
