Looking forward to that ride report in a few months. Were it me, I think black bar tap would be the way to go. All the same, great build!

Looks great!
16.5 pounds isn't heavy.
I actually like 105 cassettes. They're cheap, durable, and just a few grams heavier than Ultegra cassettes.

Very very nice. I want to hear about this rear end fine tuning that was talked about in your video review.

Very nice - the only thing is, I think white tape requires a white saddle. But it is one hot bike!

Huzzah! I think this merits a full ride report in the spring, complete with pictures by a road sign, and some other photo of a mountain pass.

The Quarq comes with red chainrings, and yep, they are 50/34's.
Thanks.
I will probably switch to black when I rewrap them in a few months. I do like the way the white looks on it though.

The Colnago seatpost came with the frameset. As for is it an "in-line seatpost", I have no idea what that means.
Woohoo!!!!
I can do that.

I was hoping you were going to do this painfully slow to irritate everybody in the other thread.
Nice build though. Hope it's all you want it to be.

Oh well, guess it's a crappy bike with a nice frame.
