lots of hyperbole in the ad, i mean review. everything is the best the tester has experienced!

the bit about the brakes - "a lot more power than any caliper...easily modulated...no risk of locking a wheel" - sounds like a magical/mythical combination. who needs more power than properly set up D/A or Record calipers? i can't really see wanting for more modulation than my 'old' Red calipers either, but ok.

battery life of 10hr on the power cranks? that's either pathetic or a misprint; and you need to charge each arm separately for 3 hours each, proprietary charger?

i DO like the semi-hidden Di2 junction box. the whole fork/stem is interesting, as is the split downtube.

...but also a lot poorer, and to me is just a butt ugly, proprietary everything bike that is not even legal for racing. I understand that taste is subjective and all that, but...
...and the reviewer, apparently, gets a bonus every time he throws in a gratuitous hyperbole.
