Is anyone else abandoning
8 and 9 speed STI/Ergo for their modern builds?
I've had two bikes set up with 8s Ergo, had an 8s STI bike that's now a 9s, but no more.
I've decided that early brifter tech, while there's nothing really wrong with them, just won't be in my game plan from here on.
I've had one 10s Chorus bike, although now sold, but I really liked it. And every component was lighter than my mixed 8/9s Chorus and performed at least as well if not better.
So in my future, everything will be either pre-STI downtube 7s(or less) or 10s+ brifters. Let the parting out of the Guerciotti begin.
Anyone else with me? Or am I just out there?
