Oooh, teh stealth is teh sexeh!
Finally got a black seatpost in my black bike. I think it looks better. Of course that may be because the old one was an oxidized mess. 
The bike still looks pretty boring though, but hopefully that'll change once I get some spiffy wheels this spring. I still think the bike would look better with Record Carbon though. 
Next ride I'll get to see how badly I fubared eyeballing the seat tilt.

The saddle does look a tad nose-up. I use a level to install the saddle.
A nice set of American Classic CR-420 wheels would go well with that seat post.

The wheels that will probably be going on it are Mavic Ksyrium SLs, but only if I can still get them in black. Otherwise I'll have to pick something else.
I'll keep the CR-420s in mind though.

Why go with the Record crank when you can drop a few more grams and look good too?
