All that money and it has no components?

Look at what I today got for free......



...of course I'll have to go out and buy some vintage air for the tires!!

All joking aside, it looks like you've got a beautiful bike there. It almost looks like it wants to float away out that window! I know know you'll keep us posted on the build and comparison progress and I'm anxious to read the reports.

I learn a lot about diferent components, materials, and geometries by following projects such as the one you have planned and I'm sure others here do also. (Only trouble is, I forget most of it within a couple of weeks)

Congrats on the addition to your already respectable stable.
