The bike - new upgrades

What started as an entry level bike, is now looking pretty bad ass. With the wedding last year, we have been on a pretty strict budget, so purchases have been coming incrimentaly. I have also purchased some tools and have started to work on my bike at home. I don't have a bike stand yet, which can make the operation annoying, but I survive.

Upgrades on the bike from the last 2 years.

Wheels - Flash Points 60m aero wheels. (got a crazy deal on these, $600 under cost)
Aerobars - HED, no deal there, but proffesionally fitted. WAY more comfortable.
Crankset - Compact Sram Red - Decent deal installed this along with the BB my self.
Bottom Bracket - GXP w/ Ceramic Bearings, silky smooth
Seat - Fizik Gobi, bad move here. Should have gone with the Arione.
Cassette - Sram Red 11-23 Crazy light and stiff.
