^ That was one of the reasons I asked. I had the opportunity to go to the HQ right after the launch and talk with Chris and Cam about the design, etc. There was clearly some exploration of a more integrated design, but I figured it was shelved to the crazy number of sku's needed for all the bar options.

Yeah, I wished I could get a hold of one of those, or have them build me a 125mm/+0mm version. I'm probably not important enough though. haha
I took here out for a quick night ride last night.

So, I changed the pulley wheels to Acer Ceramic, I installed the Ti brake pad holder bolts, swapped the locking Specialized bar end plugs, to Fizik and removed the swat tool, and I'm at 7160g(15.78lbs). Not much else I can do aside from removing the SWAT tool mount, a seatpost combo, and the handlebar bolts I am waiting on. I do plan to do some dremeling on the current saddle, but mostly for aesthetic, although it may save a few grams.

Thanks for the input. I'll look into the Ti cables.

There are two bikes here. DartanianX's bike is similar with a few different parts, and a 56cm where mine is a 54cm.
DartanianX what wheels are those? That pic is great!
I just picked up some CLX64 Clincher, and I traded my 404 Tubulars for 808FC Tubulars. I'll have to take some new pics soon. The CLX's with Turbo Cottons have been a great combo lately.

Some of yours, CLX 40's.
Awaiting the arrival of the ROVAL x HED collaboration in something shallower than a CLX 64.

Looking good. I thought they might be the new 2016 CLX40's. I've really been digging the 64's. Just got back from a nice ride on them. CLX64+Turbo Cotton=LOVE!

Damn those Turbo Cottons look good! I'd probably only change the big ring and all text to black. awesome bike!
