Mechanical derailleurs have benefitted from 75 years of R&D

we can safely deduct the campag years from this

lol

This R&D stuff still doesn't stack up to me; the cage, parallelogram, pivots , jockey wheels etc are the same and the motors etc have been developed by others and can bought for pennies.

Is the industry wanting to put di2 on sub £2k bikes or is it not interested in a price war? The same brands are happy to race to the bottom with their (eg 12 speed) MTB stuff

Shimano is not interested in a price war with itself. 105 Di2 will only happen when makes more money for Shimano than it loses them by cannibalising marginal Ultegra sales.
