For your inspection....
Very sweet, clean build. SRAM - one day I'll build with an entire new groupset.

Welcome to the world of compulsive bike tinkerers. There's no going back and there's no known cure. For you, N +1 means building, not buying an additional bike. Hearing about the fun you had assembling it and the pride you have in your finished product, you'll never be able to stop.
FWIW, I'm going to start a 12 step group for people like us - just as soon as I decide that I'm ready.
Oh yeah! Another one bites the dust.... another one gone...
soon you'll gaze over at a spare dropbar and an extra set of wheels. A 20% sale at Nashbar, Jensen, Peformance, or all three. You'll think - this stuff is useless by itself but I could build a bike - cheap. Trust me, it doesn't end, even after you have backups to your backup.
