I've scrapped plans to replace my silver Ti stem bolts with black Ti stem bolts.
First of all, it wouldn't be worth it and aesthetically, there's already silver there.

I've also decided that I'm done with weenieing for now.
The next time I weenie my bike, I'm going to go big.
Wheelset, handlebar & tuning for a drop into 14lb territory.

15.87lbs? I'm good.

Don't get that F&N kit. You can do it yourself much cheaper with the chart I made and Jersey Cycles. Also the F&N kit uses heavy pulley wheels. Go the HK route, and you'll save more weight.
