Just read (red?)
this article on Peloton.
Who's getting in on this?
12 Speed
Fluid r. der
Faster shifting
New hub body required
Wider range of gear inches
Is it just me or is pricing... OY?
Also, what if I don't want the power meter and just want regular crank for 2x? I kept looking for the pricing option but didn't see it.

Note that I haven't tried the current eTap and have mainly Campy rim brake groups on my bikes and 1 Shimano canti group. Haven't jumped on any of electronic groupsets though you all have me tempted but my sense of simplicity and my reluctance to open my wallet have kept me back.
