Geez, that’s a bummer review! Sorry to hear it. A bike that handles poorly, you can’t operate the shifters accurately with gloves, and you get annoying chain slap. I guess disliking the freehub sound and having a pain in the ass seatpost are rather crummy, too, but worse is that, glove issue aside, after 8 months of riding you’re not in love with Di2.

Too bad your LBS gave you a bum steer on Sram, because an AXS groupset would have solved a few of those problems, and you’d have a friendlier adjustment interface for easy tweaking, too. You’d also have no wires, which would open the door to an easy frameset swap ( as a solution to the poor handling).

You may want to consider selling this rig now, as the secondary market is strong these days. And, at 60 years old, it probably makes sense to move-on soon in that regard as well.

Anyway, good luck. It’s a tough spot to be in, not loving your bike. I was there for awhile after a couple of bikes were stolen at university, and I remember how it felt. I didn’t like it.
