Bought an extra bike for my dad:

-Full ultegra
-4za seatpost
-Arte selle saddle
-shimano rs20 wheels
-Pro stealth handlebars

Paid around 500 euros for it in total :beerchug:

Any idea's where to start making them both lighter and better?

Wheels for sure. Those miche hoops weigh about 2kg, you should be to loose 500g easily while still having a fairly robust set of wheels.

Exactly, a pair of Shimano DA C24's are a good start if you live in an area with crosswinds. After some proper wheels bars, stem and seatpost come to mind. Ritchey WCS is always a good choice for reasonable money.

I nearly forgot, a set of high performance tyres can change your bike. Michelin pro3's are on sale almost everywhere, if you pair them with latex inner tubes your bike instantly feels like a racer.

It' been a while, but we're getting there.. slowly :lol:

Changed to arione cx carbon saddle and bought my first tubular wheelset as I plan to do some races this summer.

Next up is a lighter seatpost, which is on it's way and this summer I'll probably switch to Sram force or red.

Can't wait for the snow to melt as I'm getting tired of my rollers :cry:

Hi I am new to the forum and am building up a 2008 Cayo after buying a frame.
Nice build you have there roderik :)

I am really struggling finding a suitable seatpost clamp/collar that fits to the frame.
I need one of about 18mm in height.
Has anyone got any ideas for me of one that would fit well?

Thanks
