Are those nokon or alligator ilink cables? If they are ilinks, is it full aluminium links all the way to the shifters with a ferrule at the end?
As apposed to nokons, which I've read use a piece of compression-less housing near the shifters instead of pearls.
Btw, that is Dream Bike Status Material!

my 2 cents. Im about 6'4" or 6'5" and ride a 63cm cannondale. I have pretty long legs and arms, but it was sized right for me. I wouldnt think a 61 would fit someone a little taller than me, but its all about the specifics

Thanks, it is my first carbon bike. It seems to suit my riding so far.

Good stuff. Needs an S-Works crankset though.

I really like the setup with the two position post, and the clip ons. I've contemplated such a setup to try for TT, until I get a real TT bike. I've yet to try any kind of aerobars before, or time trials for that matter.

I'd keep the decals, but loose all the stuff hanging off of the bike. What are those on the chain stays??

I'm short and the bike's a 51. Two cages don't allow me to get it on and off the bike rack easily. So, bottles behind. And if anyone's thinking about getting them, get the Profile Design; they don't bounce out like another brand I know.

I picked up the 2 bottle holder for my friend and his 70's road bike without any drill cage braze ons. We have yet to install it and use it, but I keep telling him he needs to. Much better than carrying a backpack, though he does use his jersey pockets.

Obviously some things like tires have to be purchased new. Anyway, this is an image of the two bikes. The Pano weighs in at 19.7 lbs with seat and pedals according to the certified scales at my old aerospace lab which moved out of country in '99. I ride both of them (not at once) and put in about 25-35 miles per day 4 days per week. Mucho fun!!

I found a link to a forum with lots of alligator ilink installation pics, it's in French, but the pictures help me anyway. Hope it helps you!
