well I got the bike, it's a size 58 so bigger then I would have liked, same size as my old bike. Has 105 groupo but 9 speed Doesn't matter too much i guess since I'll put a 11-23 gearing on the back. Its a bit heavier then my Bianchi, came with a 130mm stem Swapped the stem over to the Bianchi and put the 115stem on the beater bike. I dropped the spacers down to a single 1/8" spacer so I have to cut the remaining 2" off the rest of the steer tube. Looks like missile on top of the stem or something not of this world. I ditched the heavy red saddle and installed the one I had on my Felt for now.

Current plans is to have it my race bike then change the frameset out for something later, maybe a CX frame The guy was pretty happy with the bike he got, he's about an inch taller then me so it should fit him well.
