I think it's mostly stock, except for my SMP Pro saddle, and M505 pedals (which is fine because I wear MTB shoes).
Also, the front DR is Ultegra, but Bikepedia says it should be 105, like the other running gear.

Anyway, it's my first carbon. The back end is cushy, but there is some tingle in the bars. It's a good climber (I'm a pretty casual rider, not very strong)--I couldn't get it into the low ring, but climbed some hills much easier than with other bikes in lower gearing.

All in all, it's a happy ride for me.
