Nothing for somebody who took a large civil service pension a while back, now for the rest of us then it may need no kids and the wife working.

Front ring is offset
£1200
That is good value, mind you I would need to be cleverer than I am to spend that much.
Only kidding just wanted to get it in before the "they must have more money than sense" brigade pop in.

How much is the cassette alone? I skimmed the article and just saw the price of the groupset.
Maybe it has applications for ultra competitive mountain biking (and for such applications, fair enough), but for general purpose cycling, foget it. I note someone said that the technology will trickle down and get cheaper. Maybe so but it will have to trickle/piss down a hell of a lot for me to get on board this showboat. I am happy to benefit from the trickle down of earlier stuff, and all runs fine on my current favourite 8x3 bike, but of course the sods keep discontinuing perfectly good stuff

What is the great problem with a front mech anyway? I recently replaced one, cost sod all. The chainset (triple) cost £25 (yes, discounted as it is now history) and even with my rudimentary mech skills all runs sweet. Has done for some time without being touched.
It is possible you may not be the customer they are looking for.
It is for us young go ahead types.

I remember when DVD players were over £1k, now they are £20. Early adopters always pay a premium. Give it a few years and the price will drop to below £100
But when you get to a certain age those few years really count.

I'd still want a 50/39/30 on the front.

Rather stating the bleedin obvious that they have little expectation of seducing me, go ahead. With you eyes open.It is possible you may not be the customer they are looking for.
Why eye's open? To me it seems like a good idea and may suit some of my cycling.
