I should add its all down hill from here. You're going to install those tasty shifters and derailluers and then those 105 cranks are not going to seem adequate. Then you'll have to buy DA cranks and BB. But if that's not enough, the wheelset will have to be upgraded to Ksyrium SSC SL's and a new bar stem combo like Deda or ITM, before you know it the whole frame will have to go and a newer more expensive frameset will be absolutely necessary! AAAAAhahahaha!!! Its enough to drive you MAD!!!

LOL! I have to agree with Stiffee, except for the DA BB. It sucks, go with Ultegra BB. You will have a hard time with anything less than Ultegra once you go DA.

Yo, I was taking about the new cranks and BB. So far I've heard nothing but props about them. Beaut about them is that I've seen them with 9spd set ups with guys who are just running the cranks. Very stiff and super easy to maintain. Now go out and buy a set dammit, you know you want too!!!

Already have FSA Crank with Isis BB

Wheels one day already have Deda Stem and bars.

Oh and I don't think I can give up the Cadilac ride of Litespeed Ti.


All that's left is wrapping the bars in the AM.


PS It took more than 1 beer. :D
