A few reasons. I get close to cost on parts but they're still not cheap. I would rather take the extra $250 that i would spend on the dura-ace crank and buy the race wheels i have been looking at. The dura-ace crank would probably save me about 355 grams. Spending the same amount on the 105 crank and the new wheels will save me about 598. Basically i can spend $400 and save 355 grams,or spend $400 and save 598 grams.
355 g?
The weights listed at Competitive Cyclist's web site only differ by about 100 g:
