A bike no one has yet
I barely do right now 
Thylacine frame: custom nearly downward sloping top tube. Velocity Deep V rims 32h, powder coated white, Phil Woods High Flang hubs, (Single side track rear), Chris King Head set (in gold..), Vision Stem and Vision time trial bars. I picked up an Arione Seat last week and am currently looking for a good seat stem.
Cranks are still up in the Air. Looking for something shiny, track and durable. But not stupid.
Taken me a year so far to get this far.... But it's coming together very nice.

WK,
Wow, had almost forgotten how great that frame looks. Looks to be very close to getting the electrodes hooked up and jumpstarting the beast.

Nice WK - May I suggest the Miche Supertype seatpost for that beauty?
Also, here is the cheapest place for cranks that I can find. They have campy record BB's for 90 bucks too.

Biff, do you mean this:
I like it, thanks for the recommendation. It's just what I had thought about earlier and couldn't get the name out of the depths of my shallow head. That rocks. I'll commence to hunting one down.
It may very well be. Though, it's limits will be how fast I can push down on the cranks.

WK: That's the one. I have one, and paired with my swift - it looks swank.
