My big concern is alloy handle bars. That's one of the few components I won't buy second hand. Back in the day, before carbon they were getting very light and failed regularly (they're better now).

I waws just messing with ya on the DA hubs. I tore the flange off one with my massive power of course. The be honest, the spokes are tighten too damn much. DA cranks can de-laminate and that's a known issue but Shimano are good about it and replace them in a hurry. I remember the Campy Ti Super Record BB spindles snapping leaving rider with their hands over the balls on the side of the road. From memory, I think it happened to Figon.
What, you don't like the Deda 219 handles?
Heck, only 219 grams. I have one on one of my old bikes but that doesn't get ridden hard anymore.
got my result on my MRI. I tore my PCL and meniscus. The meniscus tore in three places. Nothing they can do but rest for now. I can spin easy gears according to the ortho doc. but no getting off the saddle. Fook me, man. I am a race horse (old and falling apart now). I aint no pony ride.
A simple fall, now this carp. I am so pissed at myself.
