Embarassingly, I've only just rebuilt my 'summer' roadie, having started it in spring! I've run this frame, group and wheels for a few years, but felt the silver crank and brakes were letting the side down. I decided to overhaul most of the components at the same time. Its now got FSA SL-K carbon cranks and TRP R960 brakes. Look Keo Max 2 Carbon pedals replaced classics.
Also I felt the 90mm stem was sitting me a little far back on the bike, so its got a 3T 100mm stem on and saddle forward a bit. Finally there was a tiny crack in the carbon steerer of the stock fork, enough to worry me, so I put a new Columbus Tusk Light fork on (thanks to the forum's own thedopestghost).
45 miles on it this morning and it feels great, maybe it's done? Should do me for another couple of years :-)
