My most recent purchase would have to be my Trek Madone 5.9 Sl. , Bontrager XXX Lite Cages, only 17 grams, and a set of bontrager race x lite aero carbon tubular wheels ( on order, then to compliment those will be another dura ace cassette and x-lite pro tubular tires for them.) Those are my racing wheels for next year. I just had to get them, and same with the cages, oh and same with the bike. :-) Working in a shop is and is also not good for the bank account. :-/

Hmm... I have Pro Lite carbon cages now. I think they're something like 28-30 grams each. Hmm... that's like 0.05 pounds right there! Every little bit adds up, right?
