The latest Bicycling magizine has a two page picture of an electronic Dura-Ace shifter. Is this just a concept or will they be for sale soon?

This is the first i am hearing of it. I checked their website and there is no mention of it.

I haven't seen the new issue yet but it's the April issue. April fools????

Look again...

The picture shows an airplane joystick (handle) on the right and the DA shifter on the left. They've been running similar type adds the last couple of months.

They are trying to say the two are one in the same.

Is it the April issue?

If so, think about it.

Hmm, maybe some other outlandish articles in there like "Cars banned on all roads from 9:00 Am to 6:00 PM."

April fools!]

Lets not forget about the failed Shimano Airlines. It was a pneumatic shifting system for downhill MTBr's. It was a dismal failure. Maybe this is along the same lines.

Putting this one to rest...

I think it's pretty obvious. The page on the right shows the cockpit of an airplane. The page on the left shows the front of the DA shifter. They carefully aligned the pics to make you look twice. Try again...There is no electric DA.

okay okay..lemme be the first to say...

*nelson voice* ha haa!

sorry...just had to do it. It's okay though...I'm even more stupid...I really did think that they DID take gullible outta the dictionary. = (

So with the new DA shifters you won't need a handlebar cause you can steer with them as well?

Wow!!!

What a knucklehead. This is how BS starts circulating. As soon as I saw the ad I thought it was obvious. WOW.

You won`t need a bell or dog spray either, because you could just launch a few sidewinders off and take care of business.

Can't wait till they add the full afterburners!

In leiu of sidwinders I believe they decided to install a multi-barrel paint ball weapon with automatic feed.

Already got 'em!

After a night of beer and burritos I pity the fool behind me in a paceline!
