Heh forgot about that. The mechanic that helped put it together was messing with me and put it on joking he was adding weight. I don't really care about valve caps one way or another - usually leave them off just for simplicity's sake.

Heh - well don't hold your breath then, because it's probably not going to happen. 
These parts went on because they were what I had to work with and even though they don't match they are all nice components. I've never understood the mentality of making all the components match anyway. For instance I don't like Sram brakes. Not a big fan of the current Dura Ace crank either. I'm going to put Planet X brakes on this bike at some point.

Not needed on Presta valves. They don't need a cap to keep dirt and junk out of the valve like Schraeders do. As I understand it those caps are just there to keep the valve tip from puncturing the tube when it's all rolled up in the box.
