Couldn't swing the funds for a Dura ace cassette so I bought an Ultegra 11-32 and a new Dura Ace chain. Finally, I picked up a set of Continental 5000's.

What do you guys think? Should I have saved up a bit more and gone with the Dura Ace crank?
No, Ultegra is just as good and the weight to cost ratio for Dura Ace is ridiculous compared to Ultegra.
