Nice, PRACTICAL upgrades - better than some blingy shiny shite that actually doesn't enhance the performance of your bike - not that there's anything wrong with bling, just that useful upgrades rate higher in my book!

So, what's the weight on that thing? Maybe 38 / 40 tonnes Wink

Quoted from the man himself! One of the best cyclists the world has ever seen. Besides, the extra weight only makes you stonrger, right... Cool
