In comparison to mechanical Chorus I wouldn't say Record EPS shifts any better as it's already top notch on Campag's top mechanical groupsets. It is, however, effortless as you just tap the shift levers (located in the same places) to shift. There is certainly a satisfaction to both mechanical and electronic shifting but not ever having to worry about cable tension is good. Instead, you must worry that your bike is charged!
I think I could have equally been happy with mechanical Super Record on the Bianchi. It would have saved some grams but I feel on my Sunday best, electronic feels more luxurious.
Just takes the faff away from everything, no worrying about renewing cables or anything and the stress that sometimes unnecessarily causes, especially with internal cable routing nowadays.
I'm hankering for a new Road Bike, but I just can't bring myself to ever stop riding the Ridley considering it was my first road bike and has taken me so many fantastic places, even though it has some issues with the rear drop out.
