I have been riding the new Ultimate di2 for the past week (rental bike) and it was not impressive at all in real life. On the website it looks much better. Skoda or Volkswagen vibes, something you buy because of price/performance, but no appeal at all. To me, at least.

Something you buy for price/performance ratio, not because it's desirable.

That'd be me then. When I say I want to ride it, I don't mean have sex with it.
If it does the job reliably and effectively at a good price, I'm happy.

ah, i see, but i am not shure, if "Volkswagen" is an appropriate example. :wink:

"Desirable" seems a very individual thing to me, i find the Canyon Ultimate CFR very desirable, technically as aesthetically, and it costs much more
as at least i would be willing to pay for a bike.
