If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I agree, but....just wondering. I hear you....whoever that was who just told me to put down the wrench and step away slowly. Might even tinker with the brake set - got a guy locally who has a set of new-ish 105 6700 brakes. Could be a fun experiment. Purists calm down, not letting go of any original components.
Just feeling evil.
Uh-oh. This is how it starts. You are catching on to what I did. I shaved a bunch of weight off mine by putting an ISIS BB in, then finding a light road double. Black Lightnings and Criterium Series bikes were not light. Mine weighs sub-18 with the wheels and could easily lose another pound without resorting to carbon fiber.
