3T Palladio LTD seatpost
3T Ergonova LTD handlebar (42 cm)
3T Team Arx stem (100 mm)
Look Keo blade pedals
Retül Bikefit

The bikefit in particular will come in handy. Compared to my body geometry, turns out I was riding pretty superman-style. Way too extended. Seat down and forward a bit, shorter stem, raised hoods. Fits like a glove now.

Surely you mean the 2012's were 50% heavier? Even then I find a 900g pair of road shoes hard to believe in any normal size...

That's what I said, the 2012 were a lot heavier.
33% heavier (just found the pic)

All leather, heavy Sidas insole etc makes for a heavy shoe..

Ah, ok. That means the 2013s are 25% lighter, not 50%. Makes a lot more sense, thanks!
