I got one of those through craigslist, same price, in Tacoma a couple years ago. Black with gold trim, my favorite steel bike that has come through my hands, and I've had a lot. Wish it hadn't been too small for me. Congrats on the build!

Made a few changes to her today. Took it fully apart, cleaned the drivetrain, wiped it down, swapped out the stem, and decided to take an updated picture. A Thomson stem is on order. My last one was just too short.

The bars on that Specialized E5 are ITM Ventios (I think I got that right). One of ITM's cheaper Alu bars. So far, I like the non-ergo, more traditional curve, not too steep drop. They are 31.8 at the clamp and narrow diameter elsewhere. Similar to the Salsa Pros from the olden days.

Here's my ride, freshly washed (though the bartape isn't as white as I'd like).
2006 Felt F-75, upgraded with Real Design Supersonic 60 wheelset and FSA SL-K 53/39 crankset.
Next up is some new bar tape when racing season gets closer and a white saddle (Selle Italia SLR?)

updated with new wheels but no cassette. I'm trying to decide on force or red, having a hard time since the difference is a whopping $150.

Here is the Raleigh Comp. I built this year. I have the Rolf wheels on, but I have SRAM S60 wheel for races.
