Nothing wrong with Mavics though. I'm looking for a rear SLR Krysrium-someone just GAVE me a supersix evo with just the front...

Oh yeah, I've heard nothing but good about the SL4. Its a racebike tho, with aggressive geometry, but it rides beaucoup well for such a machine. Much like the Supersix.

Just got the Wilier above built out and am working out the position. Used aeronova bars which have a reach about 10-20mm more than I'm used to.
Have you ridden those aero bars? I have tried with the oval shaped ones from TTT and love the way they feel the first time I held it, but on longer rides, the edge puts my hands to sleep. When I am a little tired so more weight is put upon the bars, that's when it get me. Gone back to a traditional round bar, problem gone. Have you ridden that Super 6 yet? I hear nothing but great thing about them. I am bias because I raced an old Cannondale for a couple of years. It was a fun bike.
