Like I say in my post by far the best upgrade from a performance per pound per dollar are wheels. Especially in cross where acceleration matters so much, the reduced rotational weight is a huge advantage.<br /><br />Have a great season,<br /><br />Markteleluvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425676001076544296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410979.post-41277042008361131712009-08-17T11:00:45.573-07:002009-08-17T11:00:45.573-07:00Seems a shame to have the left brake lever match s...Seems a shame to have the left brake lever match so poorly - while the Campy brake-only is very expensive, at least the hood shape on Cane Creek/Tektro match.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745856385016194980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410979.post-9795300153203724242009-08-14T14:48:37.900-07:002009-08-14T14:48:37.900-07:00Your saddle points the direction I like riding, an...Your saddle points the direction I like riding, and you chains a bit short(although I guess you need it this way without the benefit of a front derail). I think easton forks are lighter than alpha q but I'm not sure about that and I wonder how many sets of crank brother pedals it takes to get through a muddy cross season:) Sweet looking rig though, I'm sure it will be a fun year you get out of it.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650110976861715477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410979.post-4231020835502719962009-08-14T14:04:37.492-07:002009-08-14T14:04:37.492-07:00It would be lighter and more importantly better pe...It would be lighter and more importantly better performing with tubulars... 404 clinchers are heavy!<br /><br />Otherwise a superb bike.
