Funny this... I was in my local London bike shop yesterday and was talking about my plans for my groad bike... plan is to go minimal carbon, mechanical groupset etc... we went over to look at a new Cannondale with 12 speed Sram and he said that it was a really good groupset etc. I said I'd be going for 11 speed as one more gear isn't worth spending another £600... he then said, thing is, if you don't go for the latest and greatest, then you won't be able to get chains etc because they'll become obsolete.
