What do you think of coppi bikes and frames...

I agree w/atpjunkie...
Seems like a pretty decent bike for the $. Coppis were under some pretty exceptional riders in the pro peleton in years past, good lineage...
As far as upgrades go, I couldn't make out the specs from your link (and was too lazy to try and find it myself). Some weight savings can be made with different saddle, seatpost, handlebar and stem upgrades. Wheels are always a decent upgrade since you can see nice drops in rotational weight going to high zoot wheels...
Otherwise, upgrade when something wears out. Use some of the "upgrade" money to go to other things like clothing or other accessories...
Just some thoughts.

any imput on the upgrade i might add ?
Bar and stem - there are lighter setups out there, I prefer Thomson stems - not too light, just good and strong. Bars are somewhat personal preference with bend/width configurations.
Pedals - Looks are fine, but again, there are lighter pedals out there like Speedplay, Dura-Ace, and higher level Looks
Brakes - Haven't really looked into Miche brakes. I like Ultegra brakes, and the Tektro Carbon dual pivots are worth a look.
Seat and Post - Saddles are another one of those preference parts. Look at comfort first, then be concerned about the weight. I run a Fizik Airone and love it, but again, that's my butt not your's. Post - Thomson, there is none stronger - sure there are lighter posts available, but pulling carbon splinters out of my nether regions doesn't appeal to me.
I look at it this way, ride your stuff and upgrade when absolutely needed. This way, you can spend on other items such as clothing, computers, glasses, etc, etc. The first upgrade I would suggest IMHO is the saddle, get something your comfortable riding - your butt is the main point of contact between you and your bike.
Hope this helps, and enjoy the bike!
