His shifters look similar to mine, a little more drastic. I don't ride in the drops much, but I'm going to swap the stock bars with ergosum bars and see if they feel better.

Nice bike, but my least favorite computer ever. I work at a Giant shop, and there is a lot of shaping going into the downtubes, so zipties don't hold.
Instead of zipties on the downtube, clean the tubes with rubbing alcohol, let it dry, then apply electrical tape lengthwise down the underside of the tube.
It keeps the wire from draping like a curtain if it's not perfectly taut, it looks better, and it's held well in every Ohio weather condition for me.

I use the multi use dry wax. Works really good and doesn't make a mess or attract a mess.

Man, Six13's are awesome. Some day I want to get a frameset of that vintage and build it up as a companion to my CAAD9.

Picked up my CAAD9 5 a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had a chance to really log a ton of miles on it, but so far I am very impressed. Really stiff, and I'm very pleased with the 105 components.
One thing that's got to go is the San Marco seat, not a good fit for me. Then new wheels wrapped in some GP4000's, and I think she'll be ready to go.
