I say throw the Yeti 575 into the mix. They have a complete 575 Carbon on Jenson has a race version for $3800 and an enduro build for $2800. The endruo weighs in at about 26lbs, with some room to drop that further...
I currently run the 545 and have loved them. Will be switching to a standard SPD pedal soon but only for weight and appearance. The pedals have been great.
That was great. I found myself rooting for you to pass the yellow guy. I love the dual camera where you switch views when passing or being passed. Bummed I missed that race and the next.
Great job
Looks great. I am in the process of selling and buying a house in Richmond area. My new boss mentioned I need to head out to the lake by Roanoke as that is a location I will be heading to on a regular basis. Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for the pics and recap.
I live in High Bridge but have not idea, I do have friend that is a roadie, I will see if he has good loops. He is also good friends with race director for the tour of High Bridge, we'll come up with something.
