I had a really tight budget (tight for what I was trying to get) to make this work. The bars are 44cm Italian made Performance Forte that are perfectly fine. If I want to be a weight weenie then their 249 gram weight can be improved on easily. The frame is a 55cm. Due to my large setback requirements (10.4cm tip of saddle behind BB), reach is the issue. The 56.5cm top tube works well with a 100mm stem, although ideally I should use a 95mm stem. I could have also gone with a 57cm frame to more accomodate my 73" height and then use a stubby stem. Proportionally I think the bike looks nice and its dialed into my measurements but for the 5mm extra reach (which is fine) and 2mm more saddle setback I need with new post.
The tight budget called for cheap wheels, and these are cheap and light at 1512 grams. But in the light/ cheap/strong pick-2 decision we'll see if I gave up strong. So far they are good but the jurys still out. The rim profile makes for a vertically stiffer feel that the Lemond handles well, but would probably make the Cannondale too rough. I keep trying to see if they are flexy but I can't find any brake pad rub on very close-set pads. If they stay true and the bearings stay smooth, they will end up being a great buy. Had I known about these wheels, http://www.bikesoul.com/s2.html I may have spent the little extra to get the 1300 gram set.

I have seen and followed the trail of posts about your Tete. I'm real interested to see the end result if it ever happens. How is the clear coat over the carbon removed without damaging carbon underneath or adhesive bond joint?
