I don't think I'm ready to take the power meter plunge. What do they retail for, 2 grand or so? The Sram Red is quite high on my list and I still like the top of the line FSA I mentioned in the OP. I wasn't aware of the Specialized cranks and will check out their line in a minute. Thanks for that info. Man, I wish bb30 was more popular, and I bet they will be someday. I must be a risk taker (or crazy) because I bought some tubeless rims as well.
