LP:

You need to check out www.neuvationcycling.com. ?I have been really pleased with their wheels and their responses to questions.

And I agree with your  cost/benefit statement.  It's easier for me to lose a pound of weight than to pay for half a pound in higher end components.

Gary:  Carbon fiber, while stiff, does dampen vibration very nicely.  That was the biggest difference I noted when trying carbon vs. aluminum at the bike shop and is what led me to pick Carbon (that and a great end of year price).  I think Titanium is supposed to be strong and damp as well, but it is also more expensive.  Where's Jbotti when we need him?
