And I should add that you have also thrown in a side of which parts are better, Shimano, SRAM, or Campy. Way too much has already been said about those topics, so I will respectully decline to get inolved in it here.
Never said which is better, just that Di2 is heavier than Red... for example.
BTW... i have a SLR, but mine weighs more than the factory spec since I have Zipp 303s.
I just don't understand the point of removing the pedals. But then there's a lot of things people do that I don't understand.
So let's ride.
