For their gram to price ratio, I can't complain. I'm 163lbs and their stiff enough for me, only thing I don't like is they only come in compact.

Yeah that kinda stinks, but I've grown accustomed to my compact Lightning cranks. What chainrings are you using? I've heard they are real flexy, and drop chains often.

Fiber-Lyte outer with Rotor Q-ring inner. They feel stiff to me and haven't dropped a chain yet. Funny, I was considering the Lightning cranks too because of the interchangeable spider before I got the Extralites.

Throw the stick!!!!
WOW, first Seigler I have seen since I was at a training camp that he was helping out at three years or so ago. I came very close to picking one of them up.

The stock FSA garbage crankset and bottom bracket cracked, no doubt due to the epic wattage I was putting through them. So the upgrade fairy visited and brought me a new Ultegra 6700 compact crankset. A very nice improvement.

as for getting rid of the Sora, yes a SuperSix - 4 will be next on the radar, or a custom build.. not too sure yet.

Hey all, a lurker here who finally decided to sign up. Here's my 2011 Boardman Team Carbon, just used this on a London - Brussels 24 hour charity trip. Great bike! Would look even better with some matt carbon rims though...

Don't let the Bikes Direct haters tell you otherwise, that is a great bike for the money. It's worth the $$ to go to your LBS and get a good initial setup though, which by the non-stock stem I'm guessing you already did.
Happy riding!
