It currently has a Campy Record seatpost on it, and higher gearing, but can you believe I've been waiting for almost a year now for the rear wheel to be built up? The issue is the spoke availability. They are specific aero spokes to match the front. I may just have the front rebuilt as well with whatever spokes can be had with an aero profile. As long as they match, I'm happy.

Thanks. That's one of the frames that I had painted by Noah last summer. The other one was my Corima Puma road bike. His work is incredible. The Easton carbon bars in the photo are currently sitting in my parts bin, having been replaced by some Deda Pista bars that are taped for road comfort. I am planning a pure track racer build (never to see the street) in the winter that will get those bars.

My latest FG, a fully custom build using only the KHS frameset. Just finished it a couple weeks ago, but already have a few changes in mind.

I did read, but I can't find anything like that on specialized's website. Also, I don't find a bike parts manufacturer named cheapo. If he had said "cheapo special drop bar", I would likely have phrased my question differently...

I think they're CX-Ray, but I'm not positive. Whatever they are, the sole source last year was Zipp, and they didn't have that particular length. Apparently an alternate source is now available, so I'm going to have to start to haunt them soon.

Et voilą!
I don't even know what the frame is but I love it.
Riding 45/14 in Montreal, it is just perfect!
