What I wanted was a top end bike without the top end price. Not having to add $1000 more for the frame allowed me to buy some really nice wheels to go along with this bike. Here is how I ended up where it is now. Bought a BD Mercier Draco, all Dura-Ace. Stripped it and put the parts in a box. Ordered a set of wheels from Troy Watson at Ligero, bought a second set from Chucks Bikes. Ordered some lightweight parts, replaced a few bolts with Ti or Al where appropriate and the result was what you see here. It is 14.81# with the Ligero wheels, bottle cages, pedals, Edge hardware (sans Edge 305 itself). With the Gigantex wheels it sits at 15.69# (both heavier wheels and tires).

Where did you get the Gigantex wheels? And what was the price? PM me if need be.
