I did a number of mods to the bike:
1) Dura Ace 7900 compact crank, cassette and chain
2) Gore Shifter Cables (The original shifter cable was had a on-going tension problem)
3) 4 Vittoria Corsa EVO tires. They where out fast and might switch to Conti
4) Garmin 705 GPS
5) Numerous pairs of bike clothing (I have found that Performance short bibs are a great deal)
The most important mod is that I am in better shape and have lost over 20 pounds.

Sounds Great!!! and congrats on loosing over 20 pounds! I run tubeless now but on my other non tubeless wheelset I run Conti GP 4000 S. They are good tires. I run Hutchinson Intensives on my tubeless.
I have a 2010 R3SL. You probably saw the pics of it on this thread. I am so excited about the 2011 cervelo line-up.
Have you ever looked at bonktown.com for bibs, jerseys etc... They have nice stuff heavily discounted. The thing is they advertise a product for 30 min. in that time you can buy it. when the 30 min is up they move on to a new product. I just check it through out the day.
