• My thinking exactly. It'd be an upgrade to my Ribble Audax, which is currently used as exactly that - commuter, tourer and day rider, but with fancier gears, fancier frame and disc brakes. Can't really see a downside... Question is, do I go Di2 as well as hyd discs?

    If so, worth waiting a while for the price to come down/better stuff to come to market? I don't feel I urgently need this bike, but everything I've wanted in a bike now exists.

  • there is a 1x force CX hydro groupset on sale on BR

  • You're asking the wrong person about Di2, as anyone on this forum will tell you. I am ardently anti wires.

    Looking for future parts and future discounts is folly imo, get the best you can afford at present, unless there is something on the horizon which would make your bike redundent. For example, I wasn't going to bother with disc brakes or road thru-axles until the marketplace had decided on a standardised size.
