Comments on: To Own a Ferrari http://www.fatcyclist.com/2015/06/05/to-own-a-ferrari/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV. Fri, 04 Mar 2022 03:21:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: AKChick http://www.fatcyclist.com/2015/06/05/to-own-a-ferrari/comment-page-1/#comment-664245 AKChick Tue, 09 Jun 2015 17:05:40 +0000 http://www.fatcyclist.com/?p=14817#comment-664245 OMG! I have Shimano DI2 on my new flashy Ferrari road bike. Can it be programmed to shift for me automatically or is that feature only on the MTB version? I would LOVE to have the junction box too! Wonder if you could get one for a road bike? I am a HUGE fan of SRAM fan myself (have it on the CX bike), but love the Shimano Di2 shifting on my roadie. Also a big thumbs up to carbon frames/forks. I did no training for a 100 mile charity ride recently (well one 50 miler on my new bike and a couple shorter rides supplemented with a lot of 15-25 milers on my spin bike indoors). I had ZERO fatigue after that ride (which took WAY longer due to rain and headwinds out and back). Once I was warmed up, I felt just fine. I wasn't sore the next day either. Have to say, I am a HUGE fan of carbon. Love hearing about new bikes even though I'm not an MTBer. At least not yet. :) OMG! I have Shimano DI2 on my new flashy Ferrari road bike.

I have love my lefty as well. I shall look for the Black Blur flying down Columbine while my red and white lefty will be trudging up. I would be tempted to find you in Leadville and attempt a bike swap, but aside from the color difference I don't think a bike built for you would work well for me unless they sent you a XL frame by mistake.

I am holding you hostage until a ransom is received. I would like one of those bikes... Well or (1) root beer and (1) maple bacon Gu's. Happy trails!

I loved every programmable shifting second of it. You're kidding no one, I can already see you a few corrals up on 6th street, perched proudly atop the F-Si. Cheers, db Elden,

I will not post my immediate response here since it is a family show. But, let's say, my old navy sailor language was put to use.
