Here is the build so far minus the handlebar tape and cable routing. As you can see I have stripped off the stock decals because I hated the look of them and have gone with a clean Ti look with my new Spinergy Xaero LIte wheels with the custom yellow spokes. The setup so far weighs in at 16.75 lbs. I assume another 1/2 lb. for or so for the chain and handlebar tape with cables. Sub 18 once done.

I am dying to try out the new Xaero Lite's and can't until of course I have the cables routed. I did sit on the bike thinking to myself, "Dear God don't let these wheels be mushy!" They did not feel mushy to me sitting on the bike and I hope once I can take it out for a break in they are not.
