Stem: Bontrager Race Lite OS, 7 degree, 31.8mm

Was thinking maybe a turbo/rollers but open to any suggestions.

I take it you specc'd your bike just incase someone suggested an upgrade. From my experience, which is very limited as I only bought my first bike this year, I think you should buy something you could use on a future bike.

I have been buying bike bits and pieces and upgrades virtually every week since I bought my bike in April 09 which I have so regretted. So saving up for a new bike with everything you have dreamt of instead of upgrading it might be good.

Garmin is a great suggestion as is turbo/rollers, the only upgrade for the bike I'd get are wheels but at a bigger budget than £250. Leave your bike alone for now.

Got a garmin team edition 705 that was my bday present

Squillinossett

I have that bike, (though its now been given the job of winter training bike)

weak point on it are the wheels. I got a big shift in performance from just a set of £100 Khamsins, £200 will get you a good set of wheels, £50 for better rimtape/tyres/innertubes.

The SSR set is a shade under 3kg. So you can save at least 1kg from new wheels! thats huge!
