    I'm a Apple/Mac girl, too (since 3rd grade...I guess around 82--my only experiences with PCs have not been positive, so I stuck with what worked)...though Verizon got the Mac deal a few weeks after I got my Droid and I find that I really like it. Not sure I will go iPhone even when I'm eligible for a replacement.

    But if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If I'd loved my Shimano group I'd have probably gone out of my way to stay with that system. That flashy orange bike spoke to me and I'm glad it did!

    Dang...

    I gotta process that when I'm not so tired from work lol... extensive article even for a gear-geek-gal lol. Thanks for digging it up.

    In short, I just know that it's lighter, supose to be smoother, perform better... and oh yea, the price tag diff = alot+$. I'd like to have DA for the lightness = less fatique, just the cash aspect to consider.

    I didn't like SRAM either. I thought it was rough compared to Shimano. And the diff in how it shifter just weirded me out lol. Guess I'm a Shimano girl at heart. Campy idk about, but mix the pot if you will. Oh... even tho my hands are thin, I wear a man's size small gloves due to long fingers... still use the short reach shifters... work ok for me.
