I also draw the line at e-shifting, mainly because I have this "romantic" notion that shifting should be done by wire.
It of course doesn't bother me that e-shifting exists and who knows if one day I will change my mind.
And whilst it's not "New", I am also very much not in favour of single speed/fixed gear bikes for myself, as one of the magical things to me about bikes, is having multiple gears that best match the terrain you are riding.
