Nice ride! Even the Aeolus fit nice in the color package.

Looks good, as already mentioned the wheels match perfectly with frame/groupset.

How about unlabeling the wheels, black bartape and white hoods?

I had never thought of doing that, but that would look awesome... might seriously consider doing that!

Try it in the photshop first.... its easier to return to the previous look if you dont like it

I'm coming a little late this this thread, but what the heck. Here's my 2009 Kestrel-RT900. With bottle cages, pedals, and Garmin 500 (cadence), it's about 15.3 pounds. The wheels are el cheapo 38mm Chinese carbon tubulars with GP4000s -about 1180 grams. I'd like to get it under 15 lbs, and think replacing the Ultegra cassette and chain with a DA might get me close. I'm coming up on one year and about 3000 miles on the bike and might do a thorough review. It took me a while to like the bike, but that was mostly because I was coming off DA 7800 and it took me a while to get used to SRAM Red, which I also didn't get dialed in for a long time. Now I'm really enjoying it - and averaging about 1.0-1.5 mph faster than my old Cannondale CAAD8. Totally worth it!
