Deda Newton Pista, I love the extra deep drop, but they'd never work for a road bike as you can see...

Yeah, Dura-Ace 7801 leftover chain polished up with a buffing wheel. I played around with an 8 speed Shimano SuperDuper pin to lock it.

The frame is a repainted IRO Angus, it's very comfy and pretty stiff. It's got Reynold 631 steel. For the winter I think I'm goign to put the stock steel fork and threaded setup back on. The Q really evens out the ride, it's really nice. I should probably go with some more blue on the bike since I re-did the fork in blue.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

Just finished building and test-riding-out all the bugs- Aluminum, baby
'07 streetfire (Large), with DA 10sp. derailleurs & cassette, Ultegra on everything else.
Easton EA 50 bars & seatpost, EA70 stem, EC70 fork
Crappy WH-500 wheels from old bike due to lack of current funding.
but as is, frameset, $500 + groupset $300 (craigslist) + everything else, $100 = My Budget BMC.

Is it just me or is that seat set unnaturally high?

Har har. Yeah, I use platforms. Allows me to wear normal shoes (or sandals) whenever I feel like riding.
I've got the seat about three to four inches above the bars. What can I say? I like the aero.

WV is not flat..
And wheel reflectors too... Sorry uke I had to jump on the bashing bandwagon..I did a 250 mile(in 4 days) fund raising ride this past summer and one of the guys was using platforms. He was a beast and outrode me on the whole ride. I prefer clipless ,but I do lunchtime rides with regular shoes on my clipless pedals. I'm not hammering so it's good enough to get out for a short ride. That's what makes the sport great we can set our bike up the way we like it...
