im new too cycling and have just been given a brand new trek 4.5 madone 2009, i have stripped it down and fitted it with a dura ace group set.

how do i upload a picture so everyone can see?

i would like to change more components to make the bike lighter and look better, any ideas where to start?

    There's not really much point in upgrading the components on that, they all look pretty high spec already. Maybe some Aero wheels? Carbon Handlebars? But that looks a decent bike as it is. I'd buy that for sure. Hint... :P
