So Centaur ergos, brakes, RD, and carbon crank can be paired with Veloce everything else to save $'s and weight.
Additionally, my PT Centaur crank was creaky under load from the get go. After 6 months of use, I stumbled on a thread saying lubricate and torque chainring bolts. I did, and creaks disappeared.
Interesting idea. I may have to spend some time playing around on Ribble to see how that would work out with a few Veloce parts like cassette and chain.
Good to know on the PT crank.
