There is a Sram Groupset in my bedroom 
About the other parts, ive got some Fulcrum racing 1s for now but ill order some Zipp 404s or Sram S40s later this year. Im not sure on the bars yet, im thinking about going classic bend, at the moment im looking at 3T but its a tough decision stem will be around 90mm or 100 the same make as the handel bars. I hate it when things dont match, Seatpost comes with the bike and ill get a Specialized Toupe |

Get 3t, that stuff is great, what about pedals?
I would get Zipp Team Issue's if I were looking for a new wheelset. |

Im going to order a set of 3T Rotundo i think, they look awesome. Im not a big fan of Carbon Handlebars but these looks pretty stiff, Im going to get some Speedplay Titaniums for pedals too. I likes their minimal profile i dont think have a big bulkly things on a bike a nice of this is good. |

Cervelo are starting to fall behind now, technologies are moving on, for example Specialized use a tappered head tube on some of their top end bikes like the Tarmac and Roubaix, makes for a 25% stiffer front end and 150% increase in handling. Trek make the big mistake of using a low modulus carbon to get a good shape. This pays in comfort and stifness, Cervelos make up their. Straight tubes not curves or thats how they used to be. Not Cervelo use high modulus carbon but force is to curve in ways that its not designed to. This results in a overly stiff rear end with no vertical compliance but the front end is ok. Specialized SL2 Frame is round the 850g mark where Cerevelo and Trek start to reach 1 Kg  Thats just my little speech. |

Hey, Trek, for road bikes with the Madone, has the 90mm Bottom Bracket, a good mixture of light weight and stiffness, and 8 Tour de France's in 9 years.
So what does Specialized have again? |
