I don't know -- Veloce is not a lightweight component group. Probably about like 105? We went with Campy because I'm used to it, I like the feel of the hoods, the levers fit my hands well, and my husband had a hand-me-down set of levers I was able to use. (He developed a metal allergy to the levers ... is that the best or the lamest excuse anyone has ever come up with for upgrading to carbon levers? I'm not sure.)
Elk, come tell me how much you love your Ritchey adjustable stem. As much as I think this bike would be prettiest with a silver stem and bars, I wanted the adjustable stem for several reasons, so my husband bought me one. The bonus is that now I don't feel like I need to swap out my Short and Shallow bars for something prettier, since if I have a black stem I might as well stick with black bars. (And they look like they are going to be a good fit, which is most important.)
