On the contrary, I think she's loaded to the gills and swimming in gold and bathing in champagne. I need a sugar mama.
DA9000 is pretty sweet. The Di2 electronics seem counter intuitive for what a bike means, at least to me. I use SRAM Force, but that DoubleTap stuff has caught me multiple times with mis-shifts, especially when I go to trim the front and end up dropping it down or shifting the rear and end in the same gear. I was thinking about Red, but the durability question kept coming up (and noise).
Have fun on your vacation. I take it your bike is going with you on a long trek?
BTW, are you thinking of getting a power meter? A few guys I know train with it. It's pretty cool to get real time and logged power data to correlate with HR and cadence, but expensive and seems to make it more work than play. I'm thinking about it, but I'm not sure it's "worth it" for me.
Hah! I always forget about them, but then again I am more MTB oriented and Campy doesn't play there. I do hear that it is nice though. I don't know anyone with Campy equipment (for their road bikes). Lots of Shimano and a handful of SRAM.
That's sweet. I ride a cross bike, so I have discs. I use mechanical, and am thinking of moving to hydraulics since they are now available. A steep 2K descent makes my hands tired.
