Completed pics to follow when I get the new bar and stem in...

You need to be punched.
let me guess, you are throwing away the one year old dura-ace brakes because they are dull and dingy for your standards?
They're on my S-Works CX right now, waiting for a new brake post for my Easton fork, since I'm apparently a ham-handed mechanic. Thinking of upgrading to a Land Shark CX frame at some point, something less harsh than an alloy cross frame...
No, the DAs are great, but these are white! So in keeping with the Euro-white lame theme for this bike, are a great fit. And they're not being thrown away, they're going on something else. Probably.
An excuse to get another bike?
Seriously walk out of your office and ask the first person you see to just punch you in the head.They're on my S-Works CX right now, waiting for a new brake post for my Easton fork, since I'm apparently a ham-handed mechanic.

BUT if you must get a new bike.....
I love it.

Dura Ace brakes are about 300g a set, so they come in a bit less. These are the "SL," I don't know what the differences are from the ones on their site though.
James over at Cyclingnews.com said they worked pretty well, so I'm willing to give them a shot.
I think retail is $350 or so, somewhere in there, not 100% sure. I paid less though.
Plus, they're white...
it will match your new kids on the block playlist on your white Ipod while wearing your white kit with a popped collar and white thongDura Ace brakes are about 300g a set, so they come in a bit less. These are the "SL," I don't know what the differences are from the ones on their site though.

Hangin' tough!
Those brakes sure are purdy.
Wow, roadies are following DH/DJ trends now? That white shizz is so played...
White bar arrived today.
Re-build hopefully tonight...

White? What happened to pink? I thought that was the rage for all the DH/FR guys
No, no, no. You have it all wrong. It's DH/DJ that's following the roadie trends.
With the white parts, it's like a song the radio station gets a hold of and plays 24/7. Now, look at the weight weenie revolution in DH....and carbon? Where did that come from?
Now when I hear some roadie talking about lightening up his bike, I'll ask him, "What are you, a downhiler?"
