Yay xmas presents upgrade
The kids bought me the R8000 mechanical rim groupset with the 32 cassette for the ol 2014 CX, my first upgrade was a carbon fork and 105 wheelset. Mostly I favor this old bike because it the best fitting bike I've owned. Its oh so comfortable. And the color,I love the color it makes me happy ,she's so pretty !

Excellent gift. Mine got me a couple pairs of new gloves I needed and some Tailwind Endurance mix I like. I should have mention a early present when I bought the rim brake version of the eTap AXS in Nov..... LOL.

Absolutely. I upgraded my 2016 Emonda ALR... bike fits me like a glove and has such an excellent ride quality. I might change my carbon frame bikes , but this is my keeper bike.

The geometry are exactly the same, but they removed the front IsoSpeed and eliminated the adjustable IsoSpeed in the back. It was a major improvement to me so it was worth the change.
