Zondas with shimano?! Lord no.
Definitely wrong. I had the same dilemma and forked out the extra for RS81s.
Also, can you live with all that green?
Why not just stick with the 105? I have a lighter bike with Campag Chorus on it, but I hardly notice the difference in weight to the Supersix Evo 105 now I have a decent set of wheels on it. I was pretty surprised how good the 11-speed 5800 groupset is.

I'm warming to the green. More fun than black. The cheapest SS 105 bikes I can find are either full 5700, or semi-5800 with cheap crankset and wheels that I'd sell, and might not be able to get that much for. Seems to make more sense just going Ultegra with the Si crankset, and minimising the things to swap out.
Chris.
Opinions on this, spec and price-wise (£1500)? The chainset seems to be £350 on its own. Any idea what length cranks would come with a 58cm frame?
Would swap wheels for Zondas and saddle, seatpost, stem and bars for Antares 00, FSA K-Force, 3T Arx, and FSA Energy or K-Force compact. Seems easier than buying a 105 version and changing everything.
