Before

As-bought for $150 about a month ago:



After

This afternoon on its shakedown ride:



Full Dura Ace drivetrain, Ultegra-hubbed wheelset, Tektro brakes, and a lightweight Selle Italia Turbo saddle in lieu of my usual Brooks. All this comes in at 22.4 lbs - my lightest bike to date. And it rides beautifully. Exhilarating would be a good one-word description.
