Yeah this looks cool on a bike shop floor but its not going to be cool when you drop $2k on a drivetrain and the battery dies when a 2 hour ride turns in 3.
The MSRP isn't out but we all know the price will be insanely high. This is the new standard of $1500 drivetrains, $3k frames and $1000 forks? When will manufacturers starts making innovative products for real world users?
