SRAM's new road group, called Force, showed up at the Tour of California. It sounds like it has an interesting shifting mechanism. But man, it is rather uninspired in the looks department. Whatever happened to bike parts, especially road bike parts, being sleek and elegant? Or the artisanship and detail work put into them? But hey, it has carbon fibre! Look at the weave pattern! Groan. And nice plastic-er-composite pulley cage.
