Got myself an etap groupset and had a difficult choice of which bike to give a makeover.
Venge would be obvious choice, but I have GXP sram red cranks.
Currently the Venge has DA9000 and powermeter, and didn’t fancy getting the red calipers, which seem really sensitive to short cable runs (XS Bike frames)
CAAD10 has hollowgram and stages, 10 speed sram red and da7900 brakes so would be a fairly simple switch, but with same issue with brakes. Also my turbo bike, so bit of a waste.
The Ritchey Breakaway currently has force 1x, and given its raison d’etre, wireless shifting seems a good idea. Also has Shorty ultimates so should play nice with SRAM brake cable ratios.
So Ritchey is going etap, and either CAAD or wife’s bike is going 1x.
