Ok, just another update on this as it progresses. Today I received the Thomson Elite seatpost for it that I needed get my needed setback and to handle the large rails of a new Fizik Kurve saddle. I threw that on along with a set of Look Keo Pedals. It is now weighing in at 21 lbs 14 ozs. I also have a set of Campagnolo Eurus wheels on the way. Those will easily drop it more than another pound, and where it matters.

I plan to get up in the morning and do 30 miles or so on another bike. Then take this out for a short test ride to see how everything is working. Right now all seems to be working fine. I was hoping the components were all jacked up so I had a reason to throw the 10 speed Record on it. I'll post again tomorrow after I test it to tell how it felt out on the road.

Next will deciding how to finish it off if I stay with this setup. I have bar tape that matches those bottle cages but am thinking white tape with white bottle cages might be better.....hmmmmm....


Anyway, here's a shot of how it sits right now. And I just noticed the handlebar angle and hood placement. That needs an adjustment.
