That's a beautiful Madone, wish I had a bike like that for a backup, or a main ride for that matter. I also enjoy doing all my own work on my bikes, it's very rewarding and prepares you for any problems you may run into on the road. I have a cyclometer, but it's just a basic wired unit without cadence. I just watch my speed and use whatever gear gives me the highest reading without over exertion. I have counted my pedal strokes against the second readout on my clock and I seem to do the best turning around 70-75 rpm. Those new Dura-Ace components really look nice and you know they're going to work great if they're Shimano. One of these days I'd like to try some Campy components to see how they compare.
