So Christmas is rolling in soon and I'm thinking that I will help my girlfriend upgrade her bike a bit as her gifts this year. She's on a Cannondale Slice with the stock Cannondale bar/Vision clip-ons and stock SRAM Rival brakes. Was thinking about going to a bar like the Brezza II Nano and a TriRig Omega brake. She races primarily Olympic distance, has an aero helmet and a HED 60/90 setup as well as a Zipp disc. She is pretty small and rides a 47cm Slice so the narrower setup of the Nano seems ideal and with the addition of a TriRig and the cleaner cable routing it seems to me that there would be a much cleaner front end.
Thoughts on whether you guys think this will be a solid upgrade or if the money is better spent elsewhere? She is usually on the podium for her AG at larger events (7th at USATNC & 1st at Hyvee this year) or overall at smaller, local events so were looking for things outside of training that can help make her that much more competitive as she heads into Worlds and other races in 2015.
Heres how the bike currently sits:
