I actually just got myself a 200sci too.
I am interested in your old Dura-ace group set, can you tell me more info?

Sorry I sold it on CL for ~265, even with a broken right shifter. Prob would have got 325 with a working one. Helped offset some of my costs.

Plan on swapping out the black stem for a silver Thomson X2 stem here in a few weeks. I am a bit apprehensive to take off the reflective tape, as I suspect it is hiding missing paint.
I can't say I would sell this bike for well more than I paid for it. Something about a man's first road bike
Yah...I will probably just keep the Kestrel frame when its time to upgrade, no point selling for only $350. I'll just swap the DA/Ultegra 6800 to a new frame. Throw on a 105 set on the Kestrel and use it for a crit races so I'm not too upset if I wreck, crap weather, and indoor trainer...For now I'm sticking with it (wife will kill me if I spend more money on the bike), focusing on getting better, maybe investing in a power meter at some point.
You don't think there is any risk that it could crack and result in injury to me just because its 16 year old do you?
