Part of me likes the appeal of mechanical simplicity and not worrying about batteries now or in the future. I've always appreciated analog/mechanical things in life.
Part of me sees the appeal of going 12-speed electronic because of those who say it is da sh&t.
$2099 us a deal. Never having ridden an electric shifter I guess I don't know what I am missing but I can say I find it hard to believe I could be any happier. the ultegra shifts so nice I can't imagine it being any better.
