I'm using 2011 Record shifters, 2010 Record Brakes, and a Chorus Cassette. I still need to dial in the FD a bit but I guess I will do that after I fly back to NYC.

I just got back from a 50-ish mile ride looping from Santiago Canyon then around PCH along to coast in Orange County and the bike is just so sweet! I'm not even sure how long the ride was or how slow I was going because I decided not to put a computer on the bike.

I'm not sure if it's the frame geometry or the fork or a combination of both but the bike is just super stable. Plus, it helps that the bike was fitted around me and not the other way around. I think I would be able to descend the Stelvio with no hands, although I probably won't try it next time I'm out there.

Your bike is going to be ridiculously agile, being 500+ grams lighter than mine--a road hog on steroids!
