the minidisc of gears
I don't know why people always slate MDs. They were much better than CDs and held back by the music industry. They also came out before most think they did (early '90s) and until the iPod in the early '00s mp3s were actually pretty shit and tended not to be a great deal smaller for the tracks they could hold. IMO 10yrs is actually a decent amount of time for tech to stay around for nowadays.
IMO a better eg is blueray DVDs / similar which barely anyone but the manufactures want and will have been made redundant much faster than MDs ever were.

Caad10 would make a fantastic winter bike. Pity the wheels aren't wide, the group is 10 speed and I think wired electronic shifting is the minidisc of gears, but it's still tempting.
