Very nice looking bike! I also prefer the bar end shifters. They just feel so solid and indestructible, yet quick and easy to use. Looks like you're set for just about anything.

Oh, one comment (phrased as a question): are you sure you like your saddle to be tilted down so far? I used to position mine like that because I thought it would be easier on the boys, but finally decided to trust the manufacturer's intention (i.e. that the saddle is designed to be used in an essentially horizontal position), and was pleasantly surprised. For my Brooks I've found I like the nose to have a VERY slight upward tilt -- totally contrary to what I used to do, and have found that I'm much more comfortable. As always, YMMV....

Anyway, congrats on a great looking bike!
