That bar tape... Do us all a favour and change it to black please :). As for the tires, Veloflex. No doubt. Then you are all good to go. Enjoy the (most possibly) lightest CAAD 10 on the planet! :lol:
It isn't going to be easy, but it's going to be worth it.

That is one light Caad10! +1 for the handlebar tape.

How are the wheels holding out for you? I have read several complaints about the braking surface chipping.

I like the bar tape a lot and I like the wheelset you chose. That saddle, on the other hand...
Very good weight, though.

the saddle will be changed too, will be an FRM Black Hole or a Smud.

Haven't tried the wheels yet, not so good weather to ride a road bike here in Norway now

Put green bar tape on - black will be too dull.

Why not go for Tune Concorde? It looks just as nice as the FRM and it gets lots of good reviews.

Have a Smud that is lost in the mail. If I get it back I will use it, if I get compensation I will buy an full carbonsaddle as it will be made a seat combo by Berk Composites of it.

Isn't Concorde and FRM the same? Saw that Tune have stopped with Concorde. Could get a good price from Tune but as they don't make it anymore FRM is cheaper.

To go a little off topic here, what is your experience with Smud carbon? Customer service in particular.
I've sent him a mail a week ago to order some Thomson cradles and FD clamp, but still no word. :noidea:

Back ontopic:
Seriously light CAAD, bet someone riding a full carbon frame is like :oops: when he asks about the weight 8)
Once the saddle and bartape have been changed it will even look nice too. :lol:
