Finishing the mock up of this one since it's still cold and rainy. Swapped the lighter Cane Creek wheels out for the slightly heavier Record/Hed Belgium wheelset since it gives me a wider rim. Hopefully more volume from the new GP 5000 700 x 25 tires. This bike will use a modified 9 speed Veloce cassette to make an 8 speed one that will fit on the modern freehub. Then I swapped out the heavy seatpost that came with this along with the Flite saddle. Those never get along with me on rides. Put on a Fizik Kurve Chameleon saddle with Thomson seatpost. Finally I swapped out the heavy stem and bars for the light Cinelli Grammo and Cinelli Top Ergo 66 bars. Even with the heavier wheels the total weight dropped by 10 ozs.
Final build will be black bar tape

It sounds like you've made some thoughtful adjustments to your bike setup! By swapping out the wheels for the Record/Hed Belgium set, you’re aiming for better tire volume with the GP 5000s, which should improve your ride comfort and performance in the cold, rainy conditions. Modifying the Veloce cassette to fit a modern hub is a smart move for compatibility, and opting for a Fizik Kurve Chameleon saddle and Thomson seatpost over the heavier alternatives will likely enhance your comfort on long rides. The lighter Cinelli stem and bars not only reduce the overall weight but also maintain the bike’s handling dynamics. Dropping 10 ounces is a nice improvement, especially considering the wheelset is heavier. How does the bike feel with these changes on the road?
