    With the introduction of this model, Shimano finally gave in to the inevitability of having to sell its top-of-the-line groupset to fat middle-aged men who want low, low gears. Its appearance indicated that the portly wallets of portly gentlemen counted for more than the alluring image of speed, youth and fitness that Shimano had carefully cultured for Dura-Ace over two and a half decades.

    It was a triumph of beer-fueled reality over EPO-fueled fiction. Blessed are the middle-aged and portly, for we have already inherited the earth.

    Mmm…
