'flying C' button on the stay(s)? I lost one of mine too. I you're looking for a replacement, Universal Bikes has them:
Replacement Buttons
I live in the Bay Area as well. Good luck on building it up. I had a C-Record group mounted on it w/ an SRP Ti upgrade kit & Syncros BB. I believe it weighs-in at about 20 lbs. For it's size, it's really lightweight. With a good pair of sew-ups, you'll be all set...!
Gorgeous bike! I love that color.
The seller did provide a pair of NOS flying C buttons for the top of the seat stays, but because there is a little rust on the chromed part of the seat lug (the only corrosion I can find anywhere), I want to try removing it with oxalic acid before applying the buttons.
I plan on using a Brooks saddle and 36 spoke 3x clincher rims with 23c tires, and with the triple crank I doubt it'll weigh much less than 23 or 24 pounds, but that's plenty light enough for me.

Beautiful. Nice, light build with all the carbon. My Comp Triple group is alloy, so it'll be mostly red and silver (and not even close to 18.5 pounds
).
