Current Stage Info:

After a few years with 7700 rd/fd derailleurs with 7900 shifters (with works great but little issue with pull ratio of front derailleur) I decided to change groupset to di2 (3 years of use on a daily bike does not pass without consequences: DDD). So I create stealth wiring with white term-crimp tubes, which hide di2 wiring. It's looks like it's its old vintage bike, but only before you hear dzzz dzzz noise from front derailleur (which main reason to swap mechanical groupset to di2).
Still needs to polish fd and rd to fully identical look with 7700 which the most beautiful modern (ha-ha 20 years old or even more) groupset.
