I'd like to hear replies to this: "Now to the question of if the commen rider needs electric shifting? Whether you need electric DA or regular DA (or Ultegra for that matter) is no different than buying the AHH instead of a Hillborne or a Saluki instead of a Bleriot. Both bike are designed to do the same thing and the average rider will probley never know the difference, but isn't it a little nicer knowing you have the "nicer" bike in the AHH or Saluki? Isn't it prettier with the nicer paint and lugs?"
Anyone, anyone?
