Pedals: Shimano SPD-SL or, Look KEO. You gonna put in the miles, you need to be comfortable. Nothing beats a nice full platform to rest your feet on. They deserve it.

Seatpost: The tried and true Thomson Elite

Tires: Michelin Pro Race 2 in 25 or, Conti GP 4000 in 25

Obviously there are many other selections/choices that will work. You must also listen to your own preferences. I just throw these up as top notch equipment that would compliment the Dragonfly well. Wish I had one.





I agree with everything you said except for the Shimano SPD-SL. I have the Dura Ace PD-7800. They are very comfortable once I am in them, but getting in them is a different story. I put the left foot in while bike is stopped so it is easy. As I start peddling, the right pedal will often hang upside down and I have to kick it with my toe to flip it back over.

If I had to purchase pedals again, I would buy Speedplays. Double sided entry is very appealing to me. However, maybe I haven't given the pedals enough time. I have only been riding on them for about two weeks.
