I see Model T Fords and old cars all the time. They work fine.
Can anyone who has not owned an electronic shifting bike even have an opinion on the matter?
Certainly, if the cost of electronic is the reason for not changing. I could go test ride an electronic bike today. Determine it works well, way better than anything cabled. But after taking costs into consideration, still not think it's worth it to upgrade.
