Man I came so close to doing that over and over... I have a full bike in need of a frame, and I want to build it up for my girl, so I'm thinking I'll do the build you just did. Well, the frame, that is. Let me ask this... I can use 105 brakes, correct? I am pretty sure all the other road bike parts will work fine, but I want to be sure it has the holes to mount those brakes.
Thanks! that's a very pretty bike, and a great picture of it, too.
