I got rid of the Vuelta wheels and kept my Ksryrium Elites, which made a big weight difference. Also got rid of the stem, seatpost, and seat. This all dropped weight more, but these are small changes, other than the wheels. Overall, this bike is a dream to ride (I love the frame response and feel), and the price is unbelievable!
