Oh yeah the DA C24's you did have listed. My bad. I read on the Trek site the 56cm weighs in at 15.56 lbs. I'm wondering what the 52cm weighs? Does anyone have any idea? Thanks!

She's here. Went SRAM Red 22 after thinking it through. So glad I did. Love it. Works great. Also I've been using SRAM stuff the last 4 years or so. So no real reason to change to Shimano. SRAM is good stuff. I love the double tap. Added my custom H + Son rims. Love these wheels. The hubs are Chris King. Great hubs and actually quiet. Weight without bottles and saddle bag 15.01 lbs. With them it's near 16 lbs.

Update! Changed out the SRAM Red and went with Shimano DA 9000 mechanical. Here she is now with Shimano. I love it! The shifting is amazing and the braking is awesome. Not the greatest photo. I'll post more in the future. Might order some Shimano DA C35 wheels. The current wheels are very nice. Just want them to on my Cannondale SS.

Decided to go with the better choice I see ;)
A bunch of carbon, with a bunch of electronic parts

Yes I did. Only real reason was because of the SRAM red front brake caliper wouldn't allow my Conti Gator 25mm tire to fit. It rubbed the bottom of the brake arch. So I switched it out. I'm much more happier about it too. Here's a much cleaner shot of it looking all nice and clean.

Nice build, but if I must nit-pick, it's the saddle/bar tape combo.

It's the white/black/white combo! White saddle black bar tape and white barfly. The saddle is only temporary. Gonna probably get a all black saddle next.
