SRAM is junk. If it wasnt American no one would buy that junk.
I havent ridden it, so I guess its not a fair statement.

But you'll never actually show up. You threaten, threaten, threaten, then it's 'sorry we had tickets to a Jets pre-season game'.

They rely on Pcad, The Voice of BF Reason, to bridge the chasm.
It never works.

There will be so many SRAM converts due to this year's TdF but make no mistake,
Di2 is the best group out there.

I must say that Di2 is the shiznit. Pricey shiznit, but the shiznit nonetheless. PBK is selling the brifters, derailleurs, batt pack/charger for <$1800 now, so it's getting a little closer to reality. But not @ the LBS. And God help you if that $1800 PBK Gray Mkt Di2 breaks. Good luck getting those aholes @ Shimano to help you. The local rep's first remark would be 'you bought that how from where??'
Make no mistake, Shimano gear is fine, but the company does SUCK.

Wow.
You know when you leave something for a while.. and you return, and nothing has changed.... and there's some weird comfort in that?
Pcad, I've missed you
