Now they just need to start producing carbon frames with an outer layer of solar cells to keep the system humming.
I'd always heard that once you ride a Di2 bike you'll never want to go back to mechanical. So I avoided it, even for test rides. My only bike was stolen and the one I was considering to replace it, I could only find in my size in Ultegra Di2. In the whole region. After the test ride, I preferred mechanical, but it wasn't a strong preference. They offered me the bike for the price of Ultegra mech; a year later, I don't ever plan to go back to mechanical either.
