The Supersix doesn't have internal routing any more.

Why do you want the DI2?
The same argument that was used against clipless pedals, indexed gears, brifters, aluminium and carbon frames, A-Headsets and every other innovation that most of us wouldn't be without now.A lot of money for DI2 over something like ultegra 6800 which would give you pretty much all 3 of the above!

..... but by the time you get that new frameset all the new kit you've bought now will be old hat, obsolete, and you will 'need' to get the newest version of Dixx to go with it. If you'd bought 10 speed Ultegra 2 years ago you'd be in that position now, or 10 speed 105 a year ago. I'd bite the bullet and go for the one big outlay at some time, if you can manage it.As I mentioned this was just a thread about is it possible but I knew people wouldn't be able to resist :-)
Turning your logic around, why buy 105 when I'm anticipating getting a higher end frame set long term. May as well get all the components I want now, if I only upgrade to 105 in a year or so time I'll then just want to upgrade it again anyway. I know overall its usually cheaper to buy a whole new bike but this way would make it two smaller hits rather than one big outlay.
Plus, I've done some pretty long rides on my Allez, flat and hilly (including C2C in a day) and its very comfy and handles well. Part of deciding between my options will be to try my mates Tarmac with mechanical Ultegra to see how much better a carbon frame feels. If the answer is "a lot better" then I'll be going for a new bike and sacrifice electronic shifting (can't afford both straight away).
Maybe that explains some of the reasoning behind it being "an" option :-)
Is electronic changing actually an innovation? Does it really improve shifting? I dont think my DI2 is any better than a well set up ultegra or dura ace analogue set up and it weighs more and in my experience is more problomatic.
It'll be fine but the financial advisors are out in force as usual.
How dare you theoretically spend money they won't or don't have![]()
