I rode the Roubaix for the first time in many months today. It really is a sweet ride and in some ways even better than the Habanero. It is running an Ultegra 6700 drivetrain which is getting a little long in the tooth.

Since it has internal cables, I am considering updating it to a Di2 drivetrain, but I need some input from the Di-2 aware.

Since it is set up for 10 speed, I would prefer to get 10 speed Di2 (ie Ultegra 6770) so I can keep the rear wheel and cassettes the same. I know I would need a battery, FD/RD/Shifters/Junction box(es) and wiring. How much sense does it make to get gently used 10 speed gear from ScamBay vs. bite the bullet and get current generation Ultegra 11 speed??

Remember I am on a budget, so cost savings are a big driver of the decision.

Thoughts?
