Only one gear, but it *does* coast, so I figured it was fair to post it here. Started life as a Basso Coral, now it is the Destroyer of Worlds.

I've been waiting a very long while to make this post. Here it is, my new baby. Pictures ahoy!
It's...
An '06 Litespeed Tuscany, which was tipped off to me, of all places, on this forum. Thanks, fellas.
It has...
A Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork.
A Chris King headset, my first, and now, the only thing I will ever settle for ever again.
New Record hubs DT Revolution-laced (32 spoke, 2-cross front, 3-cross rear) to DT RR 1.1's.
A rather complete '06 Centaur groupset, taken from my much inferior, much-upgraded, and much-beloved '05 Jamis Ventura (R.I.P.)
FSA traditional-drop bar and stem wrapped in Salsa cork tape, which I like very much.
A Thomson Elite seatpost and decently comfy Selle San Marco Aspide.
My well-used LOOK 247's. France represent!
And a spankin' new FSA Energy MegaExo crankset.
Ah. Sorry to foist off my gushing onto you fine folks, but it's a great bicycle. If you haven't done so yet, build up a bicycle that is completely yours. Your own. There's blood, sweat, and tears involved, but the end result is absolutely breathtaking.

The cages are Ravx Alpha carbon cages. I got them from my LBS for $38 ea which I thought was reasonable for CF cages. They work great.

My first road bike. TCR2 frame with a 105/Ultegra mix and a Tiagra RD bought seperately. Need to replace that Tiagra bit, low end MEC pedals and the only freakin' water bottles I could find that matched (they're Trek). Comes in a little over 17.5 pounds.

That's a good question. I just rode on what the shop built. I was fitted and we tried a few different things out - stem lengths, saddle height and the position of the bars. I'm still messing around with them - will ride tommorow with 'levelled' out bars and a slightly higher saddle. Thanks.

Looks like the Pink Lake Lookout in the background there? Maybe I'll see you out there sometime.
