Mountain Magic - Shimano Di2

The coolest electronic gizmo for a mountain bike since the Cannondale Simon electronic suspension:

The Fairwheel Bikes Di2 mountain bike. The Di2 package has been reprogrammed for sequential shifting, so the rider only pushes up or down on the control and the next highest or lowest ratio will be automatically selected. It even skips doubled ratios.

Mountain bikes and electronics definitely go together
 Not only that, but the system has been put on a Titus titanium frame with a Cannondale Lefty fork and Enve tubular rims weighing in at about 16lbs (claimed).  Of course, it does cost about 12 grand without the sweet shifting system. But I'll ignore that in my dreams.


How I wish I could go to Interbike...
