yesterday our shimano rep came by the shop.
i rode a cervelo with the new DA group that uses ELECTRONIC shifting.
it was weird.
derailleurs are hard wired (not wireless), brakes are normal, cranks are normal. front derailleur auto-trims, and makes a cool sound. shifting is actuated by two buttons that are in the place of the shift levers. weight savings are non-existent since any weight saved in the shifters is gained back in the derailleurs plus battery pack. super expensive too.
shifts pretty crisply, but i'm not sold on it. i guess i'm just old fashioned.
