Slightly better shots:



The new Bontrager saddle (got it for half-off!)


Believe it or not, these used to be black. They're still smoker's-teeth yellow...I need to figure a way to bleach them.


Red paint! It's everywhere, and the lugs are the worst. I'm actually at a loss for how to clean out the bb lugs and cable guides.


More red paint. More importantly - what's the little nibby-thing? Pump peg? Seems kinda far down for a peg.


Oh yeah...Tange 900


Just to show the march of time - as-is, it weighs 23.5 lbs. With good tires, I can probably get it to 23 flat. My Raleigh Pro weighed 23 lbs in "race" trim with tubulars and Reynolds 531. I'm really impressed with the weight of this thing.
