Holy smokes, that's pretty bold to chop up a high buck ring like that. I'd be a bit worried about flex under load.

Here's my new bike. Ridley Excalibur with custom team paint, SRAM Force & Zipp 303's for racing & Williams Wheel System 19 for training.
Total weight with 1 Al cage is 6.69kg (14.75 pounds) with the Zipps and 7.25kg (15.9 pounds) with the Williams. My first sub 15 pounder
Initial likes/dislikes with SRAM Force.
Like - looks great, no shift cables sticking out.
Dislike - brake pads are a pain to swap out (cork pads for 303's) - When I put the cork pads in I can't reinsert the holding pin. Is this bad? I would think it would only be a problem if I were trying to brake while rolling backwards.

Nice looking rig and pretty much goes with the kit, Eh?
Might try the Q rings on the Tarmac this weekend. Gonna need everything I can find in the way of speed.
