I like my SLR! Light and stiff. I also traveled a lot with it and no issues far.
The tune wheels, which I do not ride, seem to be not stiff at all. I would sell them immediately
and get a stiffer wheelset.

I use a Cane Creek Aer headset since it came out in 2009. (See this topic: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61381&start=15) Once dialed in, no maintenance and no problems. I replaced the glide bushing once. That said, use whatever headset you want to use.

Was looking around for prior discussion on the SLR10 - my local dealer has 58cm for $7,499 with a $1,000 additional store credit.. If I could get Aeolus wheels, non integrated bars, and a Bontrager XXX saddle...then I still couldn't afford it, but it'd be easier to justify as an everyday ride. Not sure those would add that much weight anyway?

Sounds like my bike... SLR, Red eTap, carbon stem and bars, RXXXL saddle and Zipp 303s.

@oldnslow - does the longer seatcap come as standard with the larger sizes?

My frame is a 56cm. Since it was a Project One build I ordered the longer (170mm) seatpost at no additional cost.
