It was light, good-looking, and woefully neglected. I talked him into selling it (he was very reluctant at first), and after a bit of negotiating it was mine.

I just built up a Rock Lobster scandium road bike. pretty light, have yet to weigh it, but I think its less than 16.5 pounds. I took it for a 40 mile ride today and its a sweet ride! built with fsa crank/ti bb, zero setback seatpost and headset. campy shifters, front derailluer, an old 7 speed dura ace rear derailliur, zero gravity brakes, 3t stem, flite saddle, salsa handlebar and real hubs with tubular rims.
Paul Sadoff at RL knows how to build bike! the handling is great and it just wants to fly up the hills. I really like the zero gravity brake calipers...the cam action is the best. it starts off with a light rub and then the calipers smoothly bits harder when I pull back a little more...very good modulation.

Update
I know it has only been a few days, but I already did a couple of updates to my bike:
I switched the cranks from the FSA 36/50 compact to the aluminium Record 39/53, and added my S-Works handlebar. And, then I finished building this bike:

This bike is very comfortable for me to ride. I finished it Sunday and have done 3 rides; 10 mi, 15mi, and 15 mi. I still need to add fenders and rack.
