After several weeks of delays awaiting parts, I finally got my new bike built!! 
After being without a bike for nearly a year, I took it out for the first time today and it's everything I thought it would be! Me on the other hand, I didn't hold up quite so well... after 1.5hrs of overly enthusiastic riding my legs packed up on me and it took me another 2.5hrs to get home, most of that on the small ring, how pathetic 
Anyway, here she is, weighing in at 8kgs, each individual part must have taken me a day to decide on (wheels about a week!). Can't wait to put some serious miles on my new pride and joy 
Airborne Thunderbolt Frame
ITM Millenium Forks
Ritchey WCS Oversize Bars
Ritchey WCS Oversize Stem
Campagnolo Proton Wheels

Nice bike how to do like how it rides.
Airborne has a good deal on those including a frame package with handlebars/stem and bunch of other stuff I can't remember.
