A couple of misc pictures.

Tried to show the cool aerofoil shape of the seat stays, but it must be a trade secret, because I can't even get it in focus.

Detail of the top tube cable guide. I like this style of guide.

Long point lug, and a bit of paint rub from a previous cable routing

Showing the SIS levers mounted on the adapter, and another long point finely filed lug.

Head badge, all or the decals look a little yellowed on the white portions.

I used the cave man mechanic technique to mount the bottom bearing cup, and top race...and when I was putting away my tools, I noticed my headset press in the tool box! DOH!

I was afraid a color like Pearl Rose would be very faded, but the painted portion of the steerer matches almost exactly.

Now I can watch the game with a nice DIPA, Lagunitas Maximus Collosal. Very tasty!
