FWIW, it's probably better looking than the one Kurt sold me a couple of months ago. I can't say he didn't warn me.
I'm most likely going with EA3 rims so I can put nice meaty tires on the bike.

About your Lenton, I remember Kurt posting something about that frame a while back. I look forward to seeing how it comes together.
