Next step: Mavic Exalith, or DT Swiss Dicut OXic wheelset. Then your path to the dark side will be complete.

They look ok, but they can't touch Exalith or Dicut OXics. In looks or braking performance.

But really, I only made those suggestions to complete the murdered out look here. Bike still looks sick.

It was really nice stuff - looks, craftmanship, engineering. I just didn't care for the ergonomics of the hoods or the shifting motion.

I really wanted to go Campy, but price vs. performance was just not there at this time. Scored a 6800 groupset for less than $500, Chorus would have been well over $800.
