O, so close

I still have a couple of things to do: the Ochsner decals, 105 8 speed DT levers coming from rccardr, maybe switch handlebars. I like the silver wheels, from Brian 3069, so much better than the black. Took it for a neighborhood spin this evening. Steel is definitely real. Going to get in an extended ride tomorrow.
