SavageP... that is a nice bike you got there. I bet you impress the younger population blasting up them hills! And it is an odd mix of components to use on a bike of this caliber...Odd, but effective.
I will use a XTR rear derailleur and cassette combined with 7700 series components and perhaps an FSA compact crank for my Fly, when I save up enough to get it. Lighter and easier to deal with than a 3x crank and nearly the gearing whencombined with a compact crank. I am also not 60, so I have youth on my side...for now anyway.
I too love those Kestrel bars...the best in IMHO!
It was not long ago that Mavic Heliums were the cream of the crop, now, they are average in weight and performance. Customs wheels are a fantastic buy these days given the prices of boutique wheels. Granted a new pair of Zipp's or similar CF rimmed wheels are extremely cool, and light, but they are way over-priced for the performance you get from them, unless you are sponsored or work in a shop.
