. You are no authority on bike fitting. I haven't set the seat or handlebar height yet. I need to adjust everything, she's just assembled. Should I trim the housing at the rear derailluer?

Fitting TT is much more important than standover clearance.

Even if he has long legs and a very short torso, his headtube length is way too short and his steer tube may not be safe if he has carbon steer.
BoSoxYacht, don't be offended by the comment since he might just wanted to help you. Next time, take a picture after you finish everything because the bike setup like that looks way off.

Even he agreed. Just wanted to share that. My bike was built by Marty at https://www.thebicyclelane.com/ . He fit me for my bike and did a great job setting it up.
Love the BMC and the Tannoys too

I don't have any pics of my recently acquired ride (2006 Litespeed Firenze) but it looks just like this one. https://www.litespeed.com/bikes/2006/road/firenze_.aspx Will be upgrading stem and handlebars with Zipp's 145 carbon stem and their SL carbon bar.

The component group looks strangely familiar as well.

I have a Norco Monterey SL, Tripple Butted Steel, I had it for about 10 years now, but had been given the bike so I dont know the exact age of the bike itself. It has the verticle gear changing knobs right beneath the handle bars. Its a 8 speed.
When I first got it I couldn't figure out how to fill the wheels with air. It had a totally different style then what I'm used to here in Canada. I'm guessing its from over-seas because I had a a new folding bike which had the same sort of wheel air system.
Its extrememly light-weight and absolutely flawless on the road. Best thing is there is not a speck of rust anywhere on the bike, I would say the bike is in overall great shape.
Any ideas from what year this is and maybe how much it is worth, if any at all?
Thanks for your time, appreciate it!

Update on an old favourite:
2005 R700. Since I bought it last summer, I've...
- swapped Elita double with 12-26 for Rouleur carbon compact and a 12-23
- swapped Cannondale branded cockpit for Ritchey WCS seatpost, -17deg 4-Axis and WCS classic bends
- gone from an Arione to an SLR, then a Toupe
- gone from Michelin Pro Race2's and am now rolling on Vittoria EVO CX rubber
Next upgrade will be wheels in the spring.

Just picked it up yesterday. 2006 Bianchi Vigorelli with all Ultegra except a Truvativ Crankset. It's got a compact crank and a 12-27 cassette. I test rode about 10 bikes and it came down to this one and the Lemond Alp de Huez (sp?).

How do you like the ride?
Do you think the frame and fork will handle 28c tires?
How is the Truvativ crank w/ front shifting? Is it 50/34? The website photo shows 50/36, but lists 50/34.
I'm also considering the 07 Lemond Sarthe, but leaning towards the Vigorelli.
I wish it came in celeste, but the red ain't bad.
I would really appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.
