New bike, 2012 Scott CR 1 Team picked it up on Saturday, not really set up yet (just a quick fit in the store). The GoPro mount is just being tried out, it won't live there. Also waiting on new pedals and bottle cages, just put these on there for a quick test ride.
Old bike, 2001-2002 Specialized Allez. Wheels replaced last year otherwise it's stock.

Soem updates were done:
Cannondale got new group - 5700. Shifters, crankset, rear derailleur.
Wheelset is next.
Fuji got 6600 shifters, full carbon fork, Sprint 350 wheels, WSC seatpost and 111 gramm stem. It shaved-off almost 2.5 lbs. It is 16.6 now.
Probably not the lightest but the lightest I ever had.
My wife's bike got 6500 shifters, rear derailleur...as a result of the upgrades above
Looking for light wheelset for her bike.

Finally got the original rear hub laced to a new rim (original rim was a taco when I got the bike - I had been running a spare rear wheel since I owned it).
Back to a complete set of 105!
Trek 1400. Not sure what year.
Yes, it's probably a bit big on me... but it works for now.
Sorry for the poor iPhone picture.
