How many of you are feeling the SRAM/FSA creep as of late. I just sat down tonight and ordered a FSA SLK 170mm 53/39 Crank Set with BB and a SRAM front & rear derailleurs for a new bike in my stable. Becasue to get the same weight savings from Shimano, it's hundreds more now. Are they feeling a pinch from FSA and SRAM and upping there prices to hold a bottom line or is SRAM and FSA putting glitter & unicorn tails in there alloy mix now days? Just saying

I've been getting the Red "itch" actually.
Color, weight, features, cost, USA company.
It's almost like I have to find reasons to "not" try SRAM.
It's definitely in my future though.
I love the FSA SLK crankset's looks.
But my next crankset will be a Hollogram Si Sl.
Now, Cannondale is running FSA chainrings on them.
I had an FSA compact for a while. The left crankarm came off twice. I finally replaced it with Ultegra. The Ultegra shifts better.
Same here. From OEM FSA Vero to Ultegra SL.

Affirmative. Excellent cockpit bits.
