Hey Nofx,
I have the same bike as 2k2s4.
The only paint missing on mine in on the tips of the fork, where she goes in and out of the rack in the back of my truck. True, it IS too soon for that to be happening. But it's not bad.
Ive only had her a month though.

2002 Litespeed Arenberg. Full Ultegra. Spinergy SR3 Wheels. Michelin Pro Race tires. Shimano Flight Deck computer. Fi'zik Aliante saddle.
My friends give me a hard time because this is my first road bike. When they ask me what I will do when I want a better bike I tell them that I'll still be riding it 10 years from now!

Somehow my picture didn't upload.
Well being the tight-wad that I am it took me a while to decide to spend the money. My reasoning was that if I bought a cheap bike I would spend more money in the long run by upgrading it or buying a better one later. That's what happend with my first mountain bike. I bought an intro level bike and 6 months later I was buying a full suspension bike. I wanted to just avoid that this time around.
I understand the unemployed part. Although I'm employed now I figured I'd better buy the bike I want while I still have a job since I'm in the tech field.

My other road bike is a custom frame by a frame builder in Ames, Iowa named Jeffrey Bock (made in '88). It also has a sloping top tube and it's Reynolds 753.
I guess it comes with the territory when you're inseam challenged.
