I am in the process of upgrading my 2008 S-works Roubaix that has 2006 Shimano 105/Ultegra/FSA parts to the new Ultegra 6700 group with the Dura Ace 7950 crankset.
It was always "good enough," but the shifters have been a pain in the rear lately (the front has decided to act like a triple shifter instead of a double with trim), and I found myself never riding the bike and always gravitating towards the newer racing steed (2009 Tarmac Pro SL) with better components. Time to take the components issue out of the equation and log some training miles on the Roubaix again.

My new Kona Dew Deluxe now sports Ergon bar grips and bar ends (a necessity for my arthritic hands), a Brooks B-67S saddle and Velo Grand Cru seatpost (helps get the Brooks in the right position), a Light & Motion Stella 120 headlamp and a Trek rear blinkie, a Topeak rack and small pack/pannier combo, a Cateye Enduro 8 cyclometer, and Planet Bike fenders. The lights and fenders were the only things bought for this bike. The others were ported over from my previous bike. I'd like to try a B-17 saddle, but I think I need to wait until next summer before I spend any more.
