Alu frame with carbon forks and seat post
Fizik Arione Tri 2 saddle
Mostly Tiagra grouping with 105 rear mech.
Upgraded wheels to Shimano RS20s and fitted Conti GP4000s tyres.
It is a 9spd bike.
No idea of the weight, but its not super heavy!

I have a good job and spare cash, so what upgrades should I make?

    Not sure I would be upgrading what you have, some good deals at present on complete bikes if you have spare cash.

    A couple of decent upgrades on group set, wheels and you have the price of a new bike.

    My first upgrade wold be some degreaser and a chain cleaner....... :D

    depends what you want to achieve.

    Haha, yeah it's not exactly clean is it! I was looking at the CAAD10 but as I'm away quite a lot next year, thought buying a whole new bike would be a waste! Going to wait until summer 2014 when I'm back

    Hate to say it, but upgrading the wheels again wouldn't be the worst idea! You can always upgrade until 2014 when you could buy a new frame and transfer everything over.

    What reasons would you upgrade the wheels for? I know they're not top spec, just wondering.

    leave it as is
    better to save money and buy a complete upgade when you need it
