Can I play? I built up a Nashbar AL/Carbon frame a few months back and have fallen in love with it. Shimano Ultegra has been a dream.
Since I got the bike I upgraded tubes and tires, handlebars, pedals, saddle, seatpost and I just received in the mail today Kinlin XR-200 rims and ultralight hubs from bikehubstore.com that will be built up and save quite a good amount of weight from my current Mavic Aksiums.
Started at 18.5lb, now around 17.4lb. New Wheelset should bring the complete bike with cages and computer to the 16 range. Thoughts?......

Thank you! I wanted to include the subtle accents of red without going too overboard. Hopefully I succeeded. Most importantly though, the bike is a fantastic ride and I love putting miles on it.

Functionally its awesome, but aesthetically could use some work. The F99 stem is awesome, but the polished look doesn't go with the rest of the frame. Also, I'd use a different crank, not necessarily rival, to match, but something not from the big 3.

WooHoo!! Just got a set of Hollowgram SL/SI's for $300 in 9/10 shape with everything included.
I'll probably get them on tonight and post picts of my bike since a few things have changed.
The only slight problem is it is standard and I'd prefer compact. If anyone knows someone with a compact set and wants standard, let me know.

Different strokes for different folks: How about something a little older?

Scott CR1 Pro. Recently readjusted the seat angle and dropped the stem to the bottom. What a difference a small adjustment makes!

If you pretend I have my Look Keo Carbons installed (and not sitting on my desk waiting to get new road shoes)...
