Fullspeedahead- what's good?

I have a few $ to spend for some FSA items - what stuff do you guys think are must-have?

I had an orbit extreme headset when they came out. That was good.

Rest of the stuff is pretty poor ime

I wouldn't want any FSA component on my bike. Can't say why, just find the brand totally unattractive.

I feel exactly the same... but can't really tell you why... Just doesnt have the wow-factor I guess

I would keep away from their cranks. They are all spaced slightly differently and all take different bottom brackets. The exception might be BB30/BB386 cranks.

Supposedly the brakes are good. I would have trouble pulling that trigger, though, since when I think of reliability I don't really think FSA.

The K-force seatpost is excellent.

Their headsets are generally pretty nice.
