I'm interested in upgrading components and I'm a little nervous about certain gotchas that might come up through the process. I want to upgrade the components on my Cannondale R300 from the old Shimano Sora to 105.
Are there certain issues that I really need to take a look at when figuring out what I'm going to do? Such as...

- Certain measurements I need to know
- Parts compatability issues
- Things that I just shouldn't try on my own

Well, you probably shouldn't. You'll need to throw away everythng but the frame and fork,otherwise just sticking some 105 stuff on it will be a bit pointless. but FWIW, and not to be a [censored], the seattube clamp diameter is 11/4", the seatpost size is 27.2mm, the BB threading is english with a 68mm shell width. The minimum for 9 speed 105 is shifters,chain and cassette. I'd ditch the sora crank and BB too.
