Looking to get it a bit lighter without compromising looks or safety. The alphas are 1240 g and will not be replaced. Stem,post and bar are all 3T ltd serie, Campa SR group besides the rotor crank. _________________ 2012 Cervelo R5ca Campa Superrecord.

Thinking about changing the red hoods, but like the red cablehousings, matching the red Cervelo badge on the front _________________ 2012 Cervelo R5ca Campa Superrecord.

(100+g ...depends what fits you tho) Topcap, expander and spacers. (30-40g depending on what is in there) Ti spindles for your speedplays ($50 of ebay....look for "lolipop" pedals in your search) There are lots of other things too but these are nice sensible ones _________________ Used to race....got too wrinkly and old Updated: Racing again!

QR are carbons, but don´t know the weight. Do you have a good tip for brakes, think the campas are about 270g. Also, what cable outers ? Thanks _________________ 2012 Cervelo R5ca Campa Superrecord.

Would love to get the bike down to 5,5kg , seems like a lot of bikes theese days with 1000g frames easly gets down to sub 6 kg. _________________ 2012 Cervelo R5ca Campa Superrecord.
