I do wish I waited for hydraulic. No way I can throw away the $$$ I spent on the etap wifli and then spend a lot more on hydraulic. But any excuse in the near future will give me reason to swap. Hydraulic really makes sense on the tandem too.
Well worth the visit to Stinner; totally recommend. I just finished my husband's Ti Stinner build (mostly with parts he had on his Trek) and he loves the bike. For me it's just a gorgeous bike that accommodates his needs.

Plus, again, that is a REALLY nice frame, it deserves top shelf parts! I really want a Stinner someday, and I'd make the trip to Santa Barbara to pick it up in person and climb Gibraltar again.
