Thanks again,
Merlincycles had the Ultegras on sale last week so I went with those, got them in the mail in 5 days shipped to Canada.
Idiot proof installation and they feel more responsive than the Tektros. I also swap out pads now and then (between the alloy wheels and the carbon rims) so I didn't want to bother centering all the time.
Your bike just keeps getting better and better, my next step is probably getting a matching stem to the bars (100mm 3T if I'm ever able to find it in stock at a decent price, had to go with a DEDA as I was desperate to get a 100mm stem) and MAYBE going with a zero offset seatpost (Thomson setback right now) as I'm finding myself sitting closer to the nose of the saddle.
