Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The other crap doesn't matter, you'll never get the frame in the first place. But you can post lots of threads about it here.

Definitely would have to be an "aero" wheelset.

If this is truly a "Bike Forums Bike" (no, Botto I don't have a boyfriend); then we'd agonize over the perceived value of Soul 4.0s but finally decide to "pull the trigger" on some Zipps and then get POed when someone compared the dimpling to a golf ball.

Otherwise SRAM Red seems to be overtaking Shimano as the answer de jure. You can get it at PBK too.

edit: Actually the OP probably has it right; SRAM Rival.

Williams could also go on this bike based on popularity.
But I personally have to put the kibosh on Speedplays for pedals. Look Keos all the way, baby!
