It's a 54cm
'09 CAAD9-5, here's what I've changed from stock:
- Controltech Wepost seat post, full carbon 27.2x300, 172g
- Controltech Scored 99 stem, scandium, 100mm, 112g
- Controltech Carbon Comp saddle, full carbon, 127g
- 3T Ergonova Team handlebar, full carbon, 200g
- ROL Race SL wheels (w/ Conti GP4000s), lost 462g from the stock Shimano WH-RS10 and Maxxis Fuse tires weighing everything (wheels, tires, tubes, cassette...I have two cassettes).
- Elite Custom Race bottle cages, white, 40g each
- Controltech Comp-TS headset spacer, full carbon 35mm, 11g
- Shimano PD-5610 pedals, 320g
And again, I have the full, stock 105 still on the bike.
waterblast02: Your 9-4 with Rival and BB30 makes a big difference.
I realize it's overrated...this is a semi-vanity thing (if it were full vanity I'd have gone something lighter out of the box
What skewers are you using?
How about some Zero Gravity Negative G brakes? Your 105 brakes are listed at 359g! You can save 160g+/- on the brake calipers (including pads) alone!
Plus, Nokon brake cables, and there is your 200g.
Add in some colored KCNC skewers for bling factor and you have yourself nearly 300g possibly in weight savings.
That's a lot of money though for saving around half a pound on the bike.
It's easier just to remember to use the bathroom before you ride IMO.
