Mechanical or electronic shifting for new bike with $5k budget
I've got some money coming in the next few months and planning to put aside up to $5k (incl tax) for a new bike. Looking for something with endurance geometry and disc brakes. I would like to be able to run at least a 32 tire as well. The Spec Roubaix, Cannondale, Synapse, and Canyon Endurace can all be had with DI2 in that price range but would I be sacrificing in other areas, such as wheel quality?
I've never had a bike with DI2 but like the idea for it's versatility and less maintenance. I should add that I am not a racer or someone that is worried about getting faster. Just like to do longish rides with an occasional century. I mainly ride on rural roads that have pavement that ranges from fairly decent to really crappy hence something that can help smooth out the bumps is a big plus.
