frankenbike in reply to @Chak

Have you ever spoken to owners of shiny new electronic bikes?

I don't think I've ever even seen one being ridden to be honest

Now let's make an open system and see how it all works out shall we?

Good point. An open source thing would be great, you could have a bunch of people making just derailleurs and/or shifters without having to produce an entire groupset at once. I'm sure all the other manufacturers (FSA, WolfTooth, SunTour, MicroShift, Praxis Works, all the electronics companies doing dynamo hubs and power meters, etc.) would be all over it. I am just surprised that it hasn't happened yet. Maybe in a few years.

It's mind numbingly complicated and expensive to do so, moreso reliably.
