Here's the story:
New 2007 Fuji Team bike (all carbon frame) arrives at the shop a while back, but the front fork is busted. New fork requested. Fuji never delivers. Bike never makes the showroom floor.
Today, while the sales guy is in the warehouse looking for another bike for me to test ride, he comes across the forgotton Fuji Team bike above. Here's the bike setup now:
- Front fork is now a carbon Scattante (Performance house brand)
- Wheelset is now Ritchey DS Pro (stock is Shimano R-550)
- Brakes are now Shimano Ultegra (stock is Cane Creek SCR-3)
- Remaining components are now Shimano Dura-Ace (stock is 105/Ultegra mix)
- Price $1500

The Shimano upgrades are an obvious improvement, but what about the Scattante fork and the wheelset? Are these good swaps with the stock equipment.

Thanks for any comments/suggestions.
