Hi,

New to the CAAD10 family, as I recently purchased a '14 w/ 105. It's absolutely a great bike, but since I wanted a pure 105+ build, was looking to replace at least the crank and the Tektros (likely to either a 105 or Ultegra).

That all said, I happened upon what appears to be a great deal for a new-old-stock set of Hollowgrams SIs (not the SiSL2) for about $500.00 USD. While I've read nothing but great things about this crank/chainset, I've also read some comments to the effect that cranks being, well, just cranks and therefore unworthy of much focus or source of spending. So being somewhat new to biking, I'm therefore wondering if the Hollowgrams are indeed a wise long-term purchase, or if I'm better of going another route. Also, while I intend to replace the wheels - I don't plan to do so until I drop below about 170/175 given some of the weight limits on the nicer sets.

Thanks, everyone.
