Jeez, I'm boring. I just picked up a pair of Presta to Schrader adapters yesterday.

Yep, those guys are good. Very very good mechanics that know their stuff. Jeff, the owner is good too, although a bit of a space cadet sometimes. Very knowledgeable though and willing to help/negotiate. Bought one of my bikes from them and had him fit me to it too.

Moving from 9 speed triple with fsa/sora/tiagra to 10 speed ultegra double.
Got everything on sale at Performance (they're making room for the 6700 stuff).
Being installed this week: 50/34 compact, front and rear derailleurs, shifters, chain, 12/27 cassette, and dura ace BB.
Holding off on the brakes until probably next month or when they're in stock.
Wheels after that, but not certain which, yet.

$700 + labor (I wasn't about to try to install all that myself). I may have been able to find it cheaper online, but I waited until double points weekend to get it and just couldn't pass up that many points! Anyway, I'm hoping to have it and ride tomorrow night. If not, Friday. I'll post a full report once I ride and let you know how it feels; if it's any lighter; and if I think it was worth it.
