DI2 is sick!
I just bought my wife a Cannondale Super Six EVO with Ultegra DI2 for her birthday. The Cannondale part is great and super light, but the DI2 part is sick. Just a touch of the lever and it shifts faster than you can imagine. No excuse at all for not being the right gear, and best of all, the pivoting brake lever, the one…

Anyone riding 25s?
