This is what 4+ Grand gets you at dealer cost!:eek: The frame was the reason for the high price even at cost.

Custom Sycip Reynolds 853 steel frame with Ouzo Pro fork and new seat stay (carbon)
Full Durace Groupo (inc. pedals)
King headset
Ksyrium Wheels
ITM Millinum Super over bars and stem
Thompson Setpost
Fizik Aliante Sadle
Hutchinson Carbon Comp Tires


Yes all my gear matches (clothes, shoes...etc). Everything is blue and black. I would have prefered a black saddle...but I am use to it now. The cool thing I like is...I got the Ouzo pro fork with out the green and yellow stickers. The Ouzo pro rear is bad ass also.

hmmm yeah that is not so bad... Actually that looks like a pretty kick ass setup you got there.. How do you like the tires ? I was looking at a pair of those, and wondered how they rode

I have nothing to compare the tires to as this is my first road bike. I have been a mountain biker for the last ten years. If I had to tell you anything about them....They are super tough. I have riddin these things through gravel, broken class and even some small trails on the side of the road and the have hung in there with out a problem. As you can see my mountain biking is transfering over to my road biking...kind of like that Lance comercial:p
