Yeah, I know - bizarre. Wildwood with
Shimano (integrated levers) instead of Campa, a 1st
electronic shifting - first, Di2 Ultegra
disc brakes - hydraulic even, a first
more than 29cogs, on a road bike, a first
no skinny frame tubes, first
room for 40mm tires, first on a road/gravel drop bar bike
e-bike, first
batteries, first
but ... even with nothing on the bars & stem I'm not sure my mantra is still valid:
clear your handlebars and your mind will follow
After 35+ adult years of active cycling = a little new is inevitable for a 70+ cyclist who still wants to
crank it on, sometimes.
Besides I'm worth it and always ready for a charge.
Initial ride = 100% success.
