italian cycle component manufacturer, campagnolo, has had electronic gearchanging in development for a number of years now without putting it on the market.

however, photographs have popped up of an electronic shimano groupset at the paris-nice race, so we presumably now have a race (if you'll pardon the pun) to see who puts a whole set on sale first.

there are those of us, however, who want to know why you'd want to in the first place.
