For the last ten years I have been riding a heavy non aero round tubed steel bike and have not done too back. So unless you have a real old bike like mine, I bet your bike I would offer
was way more money than needed to be spent also. :o)

That's tight mane!! Lmao yea I ride a tt bike disc wheels n everything bro lol
Jean-Jacques Rousseau has an incredibly apt quote that you should read...
Point is, why add your $.02 when it isn't even worth that?
Both 6870 and 9070 are lighter than their mechanical counterparts in road trim, and the difference in TT trim is negligible. This doesn't even touch on how unimportant weight is on a TT, especially when we're talking a few grams.
The weight of a group was a moot point which I acknowledged. I didn't add up the weight of the components in a tt set up but considering that di2 has a junction box, a battery, motors, and extra cabling for bullhorns all of which might cause more drag as well depending on junction boxes batteries on frame, cabling bars, stems etc. I'm just gonna assume it weighs a little more at least not that it matters but may also cause more aero drag. I personally do not think having shifters on bullhorns is worth the extra cash if it is, I didn't look anything up because i do not intend on blowing my life savings on shifters. They're probably both extremely good group sets I personally would not spend a few hundred dollars extra for di2 with bullhorn shifters no need to get butthurt about my opinion. If I were to get either I would take sram red because mechanical is easier to live with and probably cheaper. Like the shifters aren't reducing my drag or anything and the both do the job fine so why would I spend more money than I need to? I could get the cheaper one and some other cool stuff
