I have Athena 11 speed.
I like the way it looks. I like the way the ergo's feel. I like the thumb shifting. I like the way it goes up to 11.
I dont like the way it costs a shit load to replace bits. I dont like adjusting the indexing.
I dont like getting stuck in the big ring in the middle on a monster hilly ride... but I am a man, so i just deal with that shit.
I'm having Dov's SRAM red off of his Bianchi soon though... so the Italians can go fuck themselves..... My Itallian bike and groupset will be relogated to commuting duties.
