Component Upgrade on new Madone 5.1?

[cosc]

I swapped out the aluminum mast cap on my 5.1 with a carbon mast cap. The aluminum cap started a noise (ping) that resonated through the top tube.

Surprisingly I've got along well with the bontrager saddle after I took off the plastic piece that surrounds the seat. After a 7 day bike tour and a sore bottom I figured out it was because of where my posterior contacted the plastic.

I saved my bontrager folding tires for a rainy day and put on continental 4000.

I like tweaking new bikes to suit my tastes and here's what I do:

1. new saddle
2. new rims--Mavic Crossmax SLR for the mtb, Ksyrium SL for the roadie
3. new cranks--FSA with sealed ceramic bearings

I'm also debating about putting on a different cassette on the roadie and a Salsa mtb handlebar for the Epic.
