That was the last write-off of Shimano for me. Spend $3k for a gruppo that's obsolete the next year....computer age marketing.

sram(scam) took a page from shimano's playbook when they came out with 'scam-22' mid season..and all those OE bikes now on LBS' floors, with 'scam-20', instantly became the stuff of discounts..losing the LBS even more $.

thanks sram.
