I have posted my new/used 2001 Litespeed Clasic elsewhere. I have added a few touches of "bling-bling" such as the red Selle Italia SLR saddle, Fizik microtex red handlebar tape, a new DEDA stem and handlebar, Salsa Ti qr skewers, red stem cap, and custom stem spacer, handlebar cap ends and other small touches.
Here are some pics:

Though not technically a "road bike", it's used on the road 90% of the time:
The handlebars and bar ends are also titanium:

Mothers billet metal polish, dremel, elbow grease and about 80 hours.. I think I found out why Lynskey charges $2k to polish em. Once polished, it stays like that. A little windex and repolish by hand for 15 minutes every couple of months.....Smooth surface cuts way down on drag and has increased my average speed...

I have a yellow saddle and yellow tape on my Classic, but it doesn't look nearly as good. I'm probably going to switch over to a black saddle this winter so as to avoid mismatching the tape and saddle with different shades. (The saddle has seen some pretty hard use any way.)

Is that a steel fork?
Your gearing looks like something I have. We have a few hills here in Colorado....

Still need to do some trimming, cutting, and put/switch in some detail pieces... but should remain about the same.
BTW, anyone know of good ways to remove lettering on alloy Ritchey stems?
Update edit: better pic in the sun this time, and lettering on stem removed... still waiting on some parts.
