I was super close to upgrading to a newer 105 group, but decided it didn't make sense to throw more money at the bike because it worked fine and I wanted to do a disc build anyway. Then in a strange turn of events, a guy responded to a FB marketplace ad I had up for a guitar and offered a trade for an amp. I don't need another amp, but when he noticed the bike in my profile picture (It's actually just a bike) he offered an r8000 hydraulic group. Turns out we crossed paths and also worked at the same bike shop in Dallas, but at different times so we have a bunch of mutual friends. The group is a brand new take off because he went straight to SRAM eTap building the bike up out of the box. So yeah, that could be an awesome step towards the next bike. Now all I need is a frame. And wheels. And bars. And a seat. Ok, maybe one of everything except a stem.
