Thanks!
Its a Surly Pacer frame (I took all the decals off). The components ended up being an odd hodgepodge of Shimano stuff. I'm very happy with it though. I found a full groupset on ebay that included shifters, derailers, brakes, crank and bottom bracket. It was all 105 stuff except the rear derailer, which was an Ultegra. After installing everything, I broke the front/left shifter trying to get everything adjusted. My local bike shop just happened to have a very slightly used set of Dura Ace shifters at a great price so, I swapped out the shifters with those.
The headset is a Chris King. The wheels are Velocity Deep Vs with Velocity Road hubs.
