Great Bike , if you ever think about selling it pn to me ;-D
No chance! Keeping it myself 
Just put an order out in the Torq R crancks, hope they will be there next week, nice Christmas present
.
I also put an order out for the Cane Creek SL brakes in black.
In the best situation this will save another 350 grams which means i will end up under my first goal of 7,5 kilo's.
After that i want to look at another chain and cassette to shave off some weight.
It is a bit of a dissapointment that the Schwalbe came in heavier than the 180 grams.

your not going to save a alot of wieght on the crankset for the cost,
you must upgrade the wheels
unless you are brand picky, Soul wheels would be a wise choice, save gobs of weight

17 and stupid, bear with me
New brakes! See page 1.
Very lightweight compared to my old brakes, new vs old: 80/82 vs 200/206!!
Changed the brakeshoes instantly to Dura Ace.
Red upgrade set isn't coming, it was so cheap i didn't if i could trust it (fake or so).

Any concern about the cable potentially rubbing the paint off the head tube?

Lovely bike. Would like to see it with dura-ace groupset and wheels. And no red color
I'm looking at my gears now, since i cancelled the Red set, i'm thinking what i will buy.
Go for Force or Dura Ace.....(Red normal price is just to expensive). Force is lighter, but i also like the class of the 7900 DA....
I have some time to decide, changing parts souldn't be done to quickly, its fun to keep looking around for some time to see where you can get the best price (not for ages ofcourse!).
The red accents look superb on the frame though, because there is some red in the Klein logo on the downtube. If that wasn't there i would cancel the red accents also and go for a black and white bike.

Very nice bike but please no KCNC on this beauty! Classy campa skeleons and Record group would be great. SRAM red is also nice but hate the chainrings! A flat stem would be better but maybe you have back problems?
Good luck and enjoy riding.

Haha! I saw that too in the pic. I took the pics when i didn't fix the rearbrake yet.
The stem will not have less rise....i don't have backproblems and i don't want to get backproblems...which i will get with less rise...
I had some diffuculties getting used to the Quantum (coming from a Klein Reve which is more of a tourer-roadbike). The Quantum's fit is so much deeper.
