Hey Bluecd, yes, I think I'm leaning more towards the Record set, especially as you say, when they are side by side. The Campy weigh more, but they just look more Italian, more Bellisimo!

You know Blandin, I was actually thinking the opposite.... I wanted to take my time with this build and savor the process, however I find the parts have been coming fast and furious. I only have a few bits left and then I'll be done...
It's still Winter here in Saskatchewan, and will be for another month or 2, so I really can't ride it, and have been riding my MTB.
You are right though, I am antsy to see how everything fits together, and see how close the fit is to me, so in that regard, I can't wait, Thanks!

did you say earlier you were going to change the forks?
Thanks Ostuni, yes I have a Reynolds Ouzo Pro Integrated coming. The fork that came with the frame isn't an Integrated fork. I was wanting a more precise fit in the headset area, and I like the Kantana/Samurai shape of the Reynolds blades, I always wanted one of them.

Surely you Jest...?
I absolutely love those older Yellow "Litespeed" Decals! They have such a Golden Age of Lightspeed Titanium Bikes to them. Besides, I don't generally like the look of bikes with out frame decals, they always remind me of bikes that have been stolen
Back when I was a Teen, any bike that had the decals removed was surely "HOT" (in a bad way)
