Eh there you go Sundial. I live in the rollers and can't climb when we get to the big guys. I want a one size fits all solution.

I will upgrade the entire drivetrain if I ever upgrade. New shifters, deraileurs, chain rings, cranks. So what is on my Cannondale now is a moot point as far as upgrading.

Really I like the 105, it shifts clean for me and since I have never rode anything better I am happy with it. But I was hoping to be able to quickly change my cassette for traveling. Darn, I really want life easy and my brain doesn't comprehend that I can't have everything my way! Now I just need to a bike for the hills instead. Probably be easier to invest in a Bike Friday for my travels than wanting my Cannondale to be a do anything bike.
