CF parts for racers save weight in the totallity of building a bike for the track...it all adds up to reducing rolling weight, and dry weight. less weight= faster bike, less braking, less stress on rider and machine.
street guys grab a littler bit of an edge, but mostly cosmectic purposes.
dont buy anything for that 500 other than bare necessities. keep it in top running condition- thats all.
when its time- we'll go shopping. ***** i need to see the tires bro- when you can.
