Right on. Thanks for the helpful replies.
Is it seriously that odd for one to upgrade components on a bike?
Do you guys all just go out and drop big bucks on a complete bike that's just exactly the way you want it and then never touch it or think about touching it?

I don't see this as abnormal. You know those car guys who are always putting higher performance parts on their cars? I'm like them, but with a bike.

Anyone else care to give any input as to what (if anything) is "wrong" or lacking with a FSA Vero crank?
