Looks like you got the mismatched 105/Ultegra shifters at NAshbar -- looks like you beat me to it...
They sold out 
I just need a front and rear derailleur....

1. I didnt really like the colors of either of those 2 bikes

3. It was either this or the Trek 1200, but I thought the extra $300 kind of justified it.

You think Cannondale is bad.... check out "specialized"
I read in a mag review of a high end "specialized" that they counted over 50!
