Replaced Shimano 540's with Ksyrium SSC SL's...

BTW: Not sure what you mean about beating me by a day - I built the bike back in February. However, nice MERLIN! First one I've seen with geometry like mine!

My bad on the date. I edited it out. I saw the last post from 5/29/04 and thought it was a new build. Then I recalled seeing the pic of you gleefully cutting the steerer before, and it dawned on me. Thanks. The wheels are a nice upgrade. Too soon to tell for sure, but I think my saddle and bars may have to be swapped out. The turns on the 3T Prima 199 seem a little too tight, but I may just have to get used to them from the Modolo X-Eras that I have had been riding for years.
