Race Rig Upgrades ALMOST Done - pics!!
60cm Orbea Opal
Recently traded my Force for Red, added ceramic bearings to the BB and wheels, Thomson Masterpiece, some Zero Gravity bling, and to top it off, Bold Precision Ti Skewers!
Carbon Easton EC90 SLX and carbon stem still to go.

Pro Race 2s from last year - hence the missing red center stripe, haha!
I have new Pro Race2s ready to go on come March or so.
These oldies work for trainer/roller rides

Nice bike, but $120 to save 30grams on the skewers while you've got a 245 gram saddle? Heck, you'd have been better off spending 20$ more for the Terry Fly Carbon to save 40 grams - assuming you really like the Terry Fly (I don't).
Oh, and take a hair dryer to the ES decals.
But, that's all nitpicking - you've got a sweet ride there.
