Fork - Easton EC90 SLX
Cranks - Dura Ace - SRM
Rest - All Dura Ace 7800
Wheels - Mavic Ksyrium ES Tires are Vredstein Fortezza's but thats because of all the crap on the roads - the will be switched to Conti Gp 4000's
Seat Post - Easton EC90 Zero Offset
Stem - Easton EC90
Bars - ITM K-Sword
Seat - In Picture Fizik Airionne Carbon Ti ( But My Selle italia gel Flite is going back on)

Are people ever really done? 
Great bikes. I'm waiting for the new 2008 DA
I love the naked carbon 2007 frame. Mine had a problem and was replaced by a 2008 frame.

Small flaw at the seat binder. It didn't look like much to me but the rep insisted better safe than sorry. Can't fault the service. I was gutted that I had to give up the pure carbon. Settled for the carbon/white.
Over 2000 miles on SLC01s now and I am totally smitten.

Nice bike but that Garmin does NOT belong on there. And I say that as a Garmin 305 owner.
That bike screams out for carbon wheels as well, obviously.
