My favourite aero bike. How's the ride?

I also had a version 1 Look 795 blade RS, replacing all the steel bolts like the stem and headset with titanium bolts would probably save you like 50g. You could also purchase the Aero Seatpost 3 that comes with the revision 795 from Look to shave another 100g or more. Supacaz tape with those aluminium bar ends, whilst nice feeling (also my favourite) is quite heavy, you could definately find something lighter.

It rides very nice especially with the new zipp at lower psi 75,all i want to do now is try and get it a bit lighter.

Awesome. Color would be nice too, like some oil slick bottle cages from Lezyne.
