Sure! I could have built it with Veloce and Mavic Ksyriums but where's the fun in that! The build list is as follows:-
1. THM Carbones Clavicula ISIS crank
2. Schmolke TLO carbon bars
3. Lightweight Obermayer wheels
4. WR Compositi carbon monocoque 31.0 seatpost
5. Look Keo's Ti
6. Record throughout
7. Veloflex tubs
8. San Marco Rever saddle
1. THM Carbones Clavicula ISIS crank
2. Schmolke TLO carbon bars
3. Lightweight Obermayer wheels
4. WR Compositi carbon monocoque 31.0 seatpost
5. Look Keo's Ti
6. Record throughout
7. Veloflex tubs
8. San Marco Rever saddle

You could still build it with Record and Obermayers if you got Easton/ FSA ccontrol items. Might take away from the whole thing though...
do you race?

Hey, Richie Rich W, looks like you could use a personal assistant to keep all those bikes happy. Where should I send my resume?

I would think that for a $5500 frameset it should be nothing less than perfect.
Do you think that the fitter didn't build it correctly to your ride style?

Seriously Rich, you can only ride one bike at a time. We don't want the rest of them getting jealous. You should give me your least favorite.

My FP is an absolute dream and every bit as good as the hype! The M.O.S.t BB is a significant improvement and adds extra stiffness where it's needed! The Lighweight wheels are worth every £ of the £2,700 I paid for them!
I have added another picture, but having real problems keeping file size below 100 k.b - any tips?

'96 Raleigh R600. 105 groupo, mavic cxp10's, all stock. Just puchased new from an old bike shop for $350. I've only been on 3 rides, but I love it and have my eyes on a lot of changes. Any suggestions?

Here's my new '04 Serotta Coeur d'Acier. 55cm with mix of Record/Chorus group. Have since changed the Ksyrium wheels for Open Pro on Record hubs.

Yes.....steel with a carbon seatstay.
Slightly less stiff and slightly lighter, but mostly because the bearings in the Record hub are about as good as it gets. On 'coast-offs' between several different sets of wheels the winner last summer amongst a group of us was always the guy on the Open Pro/Record hub combo. Regardless of who was on what bike.
