Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Improvements to a 2006 Giant TCR Composite 01 - Wheels?

I own a 2006 TCR Composite 01 that I really love. I have had it professionally fitted a few years ago and during that fitting I had them put a slightly higher stem to give me a pinch more upright riding posture. I also moved the handlebars in a pinch and put a set of wider bars on it to get optimum fitting. I also had the LBS install a DuraAce bottom bracket and Ultegra compact crank because I was doing a lot of hills back then. it has all Ultegra components except the DuraAce rear derailleur. and the DuraAce bottom bracket I mentioned. It still has the factory installed Fizik seat. I really think that the fit is great and my upgrades have been pretty good, but I'm getting that "New Bike" bug.

What could I do to improve this TCR and make it like a new bike to me? Wheels? Any suggestions? Change the rest of the group to DuraAce?

Just fishing for some ideas.
