This thread and the "Drop-Bar Conversion" thread have been very inspirational.
Impulse purchase a year ago:

Just finished tonight:

I'm not too sure about the handlebar wrap, to be honest (but at $7 from Nashbar, I was willing to give it a try), and the cantilevers are squealing, so I need to pick up some Kool-Stop pads. And I found out as I was taking it down the driveway that I will need to shim the handlebar/stem, as the handlebar keeps rotating. Last minute details, and the fit hasn't been dialed in yet, but I've learned a lot and this will be a good keeper
