Did you order yet? Would like to hear some real world feedback vs 11 spd Red. Deciding if I want to order through my Specialized team deal or wait for AXS to show up via Pro Deal direct from Sram. Not a huge fan of white, I like brighter colors so that is my issue with ordering a complete from Specialized right now. If anyone wants a hookup on Spec bikes PM me, I don't get anything out of it but happy to make a connection.
brake only
for disc all the colors are anemic
I have a 52 on hold for me. i’m not sure i can learn how to use the new gruppo
but by all reviews it’s thw second coming

Since an RS will cost you taxes, $550/mth in lost storage revenue, and $2k+/yr insurance, it would have to appreciate at least $10k/yr ($100k in 10 years) for you to break even, and that's even neglecting any maintenance costs and potential gains on the initial $250k over the next 10 years if invested elsewhere.

Never understood "the last of X" hoarding argument. Are the last of the longhoods, aircooleds, Mezgers, manuals, etc. really that much more desirable than their 2nd or 3rd to the last counterparts?

Road disc is like the pubescent boy with a condom in his wallet. Don't need it but it's cute.
Black specialized not so much. Especially if you have the good sense to admire those beautiful past Look frames--and some, uh, pretty cars.
SRM comp'd a rebuild of my PC8. Very nice of them: it died after its one and only rainstorm. So I am riding road again.
You California riders should do belgian waffle. It's great fun and I'll show you how it's done on calipers. Can host non American crime story types here in Laguna.

I am more into MTB than road bikes to avoid those crazy drivers on the streets here. Bought this late last year and cannot wait for weather to improve to go biking once again.
