I just saw a post of Rival shifters for sale  at 8,500 with RD (kulang FD)

How much weight can be saved:   From Total Cycling - Component Weights

                                        Ultegra                           SRAM Force                 Savings

                    Shifter          419                                307 grams                      112 grams

                    FD                86                                   77                                    9 grams

                    RD              193                                 166                                  27 grams

                   Brakes          340                                 278                                 62 grams

                                                                                                    Total         210 grams

                                                                                           7,509 -  210  = 7,299  =   16,057 lbs

I all ready closed a deal with Kirk of Bago City to sell me his SRAM force for an undisclosed amount.  Kung aabutin ko ng February. I planned to upgrade to 6700 Ultegra with no change in weight.   For some K more, I would be able to save 200 grams. Parang bumili ng wheelset na magaan.
