yeah i am pretty happy with the way the design is coming together. BTW i was at Wheel and sprocket for a couple hours last night riding some $5000 colnagos and a couple treks madone,5000 ect. and a real nice felt F4 just to see what type of geometry i liked best, so now i have a good idea of how the fit will come together on my bike and i think i will stick with the geo numbers i have in my design right now.

but my only problem is i cannot make up my mind about the parts for the final build.

phil's = high flange or low
cranks = stick with the stronglights or buy SG 75's
bars =drop or bullhorns ergo or classic

plus all the other little things like bar tape color paint scheme and stuff like that is keeping me up at night... fun but annoying, i jut need to get the tubes and start filing and then that stuff will take care of its self when the time comes.
