You guys could always roll your own:

I just took possession of a my steel CJ SE, Easton cockpit, FSA compact cranks, DuraAce stuff, Open Pros 32 hole on DTSwiss 240's. Sweet.
Yellow and green IF staggered decals. Platinum.
BF server won't let me post pictures and here at work dur to firewall issues I can't park them somewhere for you to see.
I'll get them somewhere. Way more bike than rider. Thanks MattB. Thanks Chris.
Here's a picture.

Full retail would have been $6k for mine, but through some eBaying of lots of woodworking equipment from my past life, shrewd component buying (some of it!), and lots and lots of barter, I've got only about half of that in it.
Just got my TA Specilities Carmina Cranks with Phil Wood bottom bracket - beautiful! (new pics soon)

These few were taken riding in the Mad River Valley in VT. Pouring rain. Temps in the low 50's high 40's depending on where I was. Despite the rain, a beautiful ride.
Apologies for the image sizes. Can't figure out how to get Picassa and Goolge to link to the smaller image.
