I am thinking of getting a 2005 54 cm Specialized Roubaix Comp Triple. The LBS mentioned that it is willing to swap out any of the components. Since you cannot get a factory Roubaix with a Dura-Ace Triple gruppo, I am settling on the Ultrgra triple. Being a weight weenie, I am interested in upgrading the stem, handlebar, wheelset and saddle to get the bike lighter to compensate for the heavier Ultegra's. Does anyone have better, lighter, cheaper, more durable, more reliable components or other components to suggest instead of these?
