Whole drivetrain replaced: 105 cassette and RD are now Ultegra. FD is now Dura-Ace. Crank was FSA Gossamer, now SL-K Light.
3T Arx stem, 90mm. Full unidirectional CF, not the typical CF over alloy.
Easton CF 20mm riser bars
Specialized Overendz CF bar ends to replace stockers
Specialized CG-R CF seatpost to replace stock PAVE carbon
Easton CF wheels. Fawkin' awesome
Zipp Ti skewers
Xpedo pedals
Selle Italia SLR Max Gel Flow saddle
Arundel cage
Whew. I think that's it. So what I retained from stock: tires, brakes, shifters
Awesome mods! Good idea to have done when bike was new. I purchased a Sirrus Expert and made many mods when new and over the course of the year since purchasing, have changed every component except the stock stem! It's s totally different bike, rivals a top-of-the line road bike. I would say upgrading to Mavic carbon wheels and switching out the FSA Gossamer crank to a carbon Sram Force 1 are the most noticeable changes. Will post pics and full specs soon
