Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'll trade you a SRAM Red groupset for your Di2 used groupset.

Heck, I'll trade you a SRAM red group and some DA-7800 parts for that Di2 group.

I have Red on my Cervelo and am switching to Di2 in 2 weeks. What do you think you're missing with Di2 (besides a few grams)?

Red is great, Di2 is great (i've read)

I'd get Di2 but can't afford it or REd for that matter, send me the Di2 and I'll let you know if it's any better than my Force grouppo!

I had DI2 on my Orbea Opal. Liked it alot but talk about NO feeling when you shift.

I now have SRAM Red on my SL2 and enjoy riding it more than the DI2.

The DI2 is effortless and has the WOW factor but I don't feel it is worth what they want right now.

The SRAM is quick shifting and I love mine so far.

Geez...why not just buy one of each and do your own comparison?

Di2 is probably easier than double tap for small troll hands

I always thought trolls had large hands. I learn something important on BF everyday!
