I really want to buy the Nanolight SRAM Red... so much so I'm getting hot just thinking about it.

Looking at the customisation, I'm thinking about changing the tyres to
Continental Grand Prix 4000 Folding Road Tyre
Are there any other changes/upgrades people would make whilst I have this chance?
Cheers
ok. Getting hot thinking about it, does not actually mean i want to buy it - it means... jeez i'm spending money again..

id get the arione saddle myself.
probably the thompson seat post
and id take the standard tyres and buy 2 gp4000s tyres from somewhere else
the wheels are the major let down on the bike. i recently upgraded my px wheels to some racing 3s and its made a massive differenceBMC TM01 - FCN 0
Look 695 (Geared) - FCN 1
Bowman Palace:R - FCN 1
Cannondale CAAD 9 - FCN 2
Premier (CX) - FCN 6
Premier (fixed/SS) - FCN30 -
Sod it you know i might just get the wheel upgrade...
Shimano Dura Ace 7850 C24 CL Carbon Clincher (Pair) + £385.64
seems like a good price, from what i've seen online.0 -
i have the sl pro carbon, the nanolight from what i understand is better. the planet x wheels are more than good enough for a few years until you outgrow the bike and want a substantial improvement.BMC TM01 - FCN 0

The bike itself aside I love the options on assembly.
Build Bike - No (Build Yourself And Save £30)
Build Bike - Yes (Free)
By that token shouldn't it be
Shimano Dura Ace 7850 C24 CL Carbon Clincher (Pair) - Free!

Hey Dan,
When you get it can you post up some pics. The PlanetX site doesn't seem to have any goods ones but the spec sounds sumptuous.
Cheers
