Mixed bag is right, Unworthy1!
I've no previous experience with the Sintesis, either. I like the varietal look. My favorite is the Shimano track pedal and there's a set in reserve just in case. In short, the Ritchey stem is there because it was the most handy fit and because I'm a contrarian when it comes to cosmetics - I like the black. Maybe I'll go to a quill, later.
As I said I intend this bike to be heavily used so I'll have little hesitation making wholesale changes
to make it a comfortable and optimal performer. I just wanted to get it finished ASAP and in service.
Thanks.

Edit: I should have said I hate the
look of those Ofmega pedals, but have no experience with them. Obviously a couple people below who have
used them really like them...proving once again that beauty can be found below the surface, and you can't judge a book, etc., etc.
