It can add up quick. I built it in 2013. It still has mechanical shifting. Now it's all wireless electronic.

I'm scared to fall on my bicycle, my motorcycle days are long gone.

No more cables, easy to set up and it works flawlessly. Not too expensive anymore. It came out about 5 years ago.

12 speed instead of 10 speed. Sequential or compensating shifting.

I like my mechanical shifting but it's got internal cable routing. It can be a bitch to change cables.

The lighter the bike. The more is costs. I've looked at bikes that were 10 grand plus.

If you break a cable on the rear derailleur, you can rig it up to stay in one gear if you're mechanically inclined. If not, it defaults to the highest gear (smallest cog). If the battery goes dead on the rear derailleur on electronic shifting, you can use the battery from the front derailleur which doesn't get as much use as the rear and should be pretty much fully charged. That is, if you charged the batteries before you left.

My bike has close to 10k in parts on it and it weighs 15lbs. Not super light but it's an aero frame which is a little heavier along with 44mm wheels which adds more weight than a shallow wheel. And a power meter that's built into the crankset. I prefer a stiff frame with a stiff bottom bracket over a super light but flexy frame.
