My guess is that when an electronic shift system is built that is embraced by racers, in terms of increased performance with race ready reliability, then it will be ready for for general use and acceptance. Then individuals can make thier choice. Until this happens, electronic shifting will be for casual bikers ala shimano coasting, early adopter techies, and mad scientist build it yourself guys (meant with respect). (cdCF like people I know who went to Chalmers in the mid 80's...goteborg is a beautiful city)
