I'm running full Ultegra on the bike now. I have been looking at the SOUL wheelsets and might spring for those after I can justify it (AKA, I get stronger on the bike)

Well I just ordered a second one so you will be seeing two on a bike shortly. I am hard core Campy. Always have been. Even though I realize shimano and SRAM are often times just as good. Old dogs don't learn new tricks and I stay loyal pretty much to Camagnolo. The Cage is claimed to be the lightest made, I didnt care as much about that as I did wanting to match out the look of the bike with the theme I was going with and after going full out record I wasn't going to start turning into Mr. Frugal with the water bottle cage. I consider it the cherry on top. And going a step further on this topic- Having Bling on your bike is fine IMO if it makes you happy and doesn't cause you to go into debt. To others maybe its worth "poser points", so be it. I can live with the decisions I have made for my ride because its my ride.
Next on my Wish list is the Camagnolo Bora Wheelset for when I really need speed and style points.
Maybe a Christmas present to me but I also better save for the Kids college. Decisions.

That S-Works is gorgeous. I love the matte black. Not loving the wheels, or the picture (seems very low resolution or something) but the bike is hot.

Brand-spanking new to road biking - just bought this 2 wks ago. Once I get some more km's on it I should probably go for a proper fitting. For now I'm just riding as much as I can.

Nice. The wheels don't go well with the rest of the build but nice bike. You should look into the new white and red 3T Team stuff (bars, stem, seat post). It would go well with the bike (color scheme, fork, groupset).

Yeah he should definitely throw more money at his bike cause he wants it to all match.

And given such a nice bike, the extra money spent wouldn't be much at all in relation to the R3/Red gruppo build.
