March '14 Update:
I've changed the stem and have added a Carbon Rail 52 wheel (http://www.novemberbicycles.com/rail/) set with Tune front hub and a PowerTap G3 rear.
Ride wise, I'm really rather happy with it.
Frame & forks: Canyon Aeroad CF 2011 53" (Small)
Front + Rear Derailleur: Shimano Dura Ace
Shifters: Shimano Dura Ace
Cassette: Shimano Dura Ace
Brakes: Shimano Dura Ace
Hubs: Front: Tune, Rear: Powertap G3 (Updated)
Rims: Rail 52's (laced to the above hubs by the good chaps at http://www.stradawheels.co.uk)
Tyres: Continental Grand Prix 4000
Cranks: Shimano Dura Ace - 172.5mm
Chainrings: 50/34
Rear cassette: Dura Ace 12/27
Chain Catcher: Canyon custom
Stem: 3T Black Stealth - 110mm
Handlebar: 3T Ergonova Team Carbon Handlebar (Black Series)
Garmin mount: K Edge
Saddle: Specialized BG Romin Expert
Seat post: Canyon VCLS Aero
Pedals - Speedplay Zero Ti
Total weight: about bang on 7.0kg
All ready for the Alpe D'Heuz Tri on the 24th July which should be a cracking day out in the mountains. I bought the frame back in late 2011 and spend the early winter of the same year putting it all together.
It all makes for a wonderfully smooth and subtle ride.

Thanks people.
Am really looking forward to the Tri especially the swim in the lake which looks a stunning setting. I've ridden the Alpe on this Canyon a few times over the past year so thankfully I know a little of what to expect come the bike leg. The big question mark for me is the weather. If it's as hot and sunny as the Marmotte a week or so back I'm likely to fry. Anyway...
Speaking of the bike, I'm planning on getting a pair of deep (ish) section wheels later this year. I'll post suitable update pics as and when.0 -
Some of these would look seriously good on that:
