Why would you even associate your $3k+ gruppo with the word novelty? P.S. Fatty, your like a cycling marketing muckraker. Just don't start posting crazy pics of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chicago_meat_inspection_swift_co_1906.jpg" rel="nofollow">pig carcasses</a>.

About the brain fatigue, who has not borrowed, say, a SRAM or Campy gruppo equipped bike after riding Shimano, and has to rewire their brain?

Let Shimano work out those details. I'm more concerned about the condition of Fatty's soul after he obviously put it on the open market for a chance to test ride these new shifters. Shameless! Creative, and I'm jealous I didn't think of it first, but still shameless! Who care about the logistics. Let Shimano work out those details.

I have to agree with his eventual conclusion (and i should caveat with the fact that he's primarily talking about the various automatic transmissions that have been suggested at times), which is that if someone is too lazy to wiggle a lever then they're probably going to be too lazy to turn the pedals...

Only thing I liked the sound of was not dropping the chain, but I can count on one hand the number of times thats happened on my road bike.
