Check out Cervelo Bigla twitter page, has some fresh photos. I'm starting to lean back towards a Campy build ...

I think Mavic probably have them beat.

Do anyone know if ROTOR has mentioned anything about shifting degradation with the UNO group?
With DI2/eTAP you pretty much adjust it once and after that you don't really have to index/adjust anything.

Well, that's pretty much one of the reasons Rotor went hydraulic. In theory, it shouldn't require any adjustment after initial setup. The hydraulic system has no stretch and heat changes doesn't influence the system as well.
I tried a pre-production group mid december, and was happy to find the the action was quite a bit lighter than the demo model that was set up at Eurobike. It feels a lot similar to SRAM Red, but a lot more crisp and precise in the shifting. And the Magura Discs I tried, worked extremely well.

Even it is mechanically perfect and superlight I still think it is too ugly to buy.

that's a good looking bike though and kit
Local bike shop told me they expect to get some in stock late summer or early fall. Looks like we are still 3-5 months away from consumers being able to get these.

One of our guys who was at the launch (normally rides Sram Red) was expecting to hate them but said they were awesome. Most comfortable he'd ever ridden.
YMMV, obviously.
(Also I don't think he's ever owned a bike with Super Record )

I also heard, earliest June. But then Aug, Sep....
Well, i can just dream of the possibility to test ride Etap, UNO, Campa EPS and Di2.
Would be great set up at same bike(s) running face to face until one is grasping what is the deal with each of them.
Looks is one thing, but i try to always keep to the feel of things and the function (price is the real issue though )
