I’ve now got the full Dura Ace groupset on, eeBrakes too and I’ve got the 9-speed 7700 downtube shifters tuned to perfection. It’s funny, but the indexed shifters are actually a HUGE upgrade over friction shifters!
Part of me misses the old campag groupset though, especially the look of non-aero levers, but I figure I’m not doing anything that can’t be undone, so whilst I’m here I might as well have some fun.
I’m now chasing 6.8kg’s. Buying a lighter wheelset for this bike wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense, so instead I’ve stolen the Farsports wheels off my SL6 and ordered a custom set of Brisk wheels for the SL6 to get it into the Sub 5 club.
I’ve ordered a Hylix threadless carbon fork which should shave off a lot of weight, but as pictured, with the heavy ENVE bars and stem it’s at 7090g.
