Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Thanks. I pretty much transferred the parts from the old frame set. Everything works 100% and I'm happy with the part choices given my budget. Only thing that I plan on changing are the wheels to some mid depth carbon clinchers. Now, the engine needs more work

Would be nice with some plain black wheels and plain black bar tape...To many colors makes it hard to focus your eyes!

That's probably more drop than this old guy would like but most will say it looks good from here.
How are you enjoying it so far?

Dude, I hope you didn't buy this bike just to show off.

You gotta figure that out yourself. Are you comfortable raising that post? If you're not then leave it as it is.

...or you can be one of those ******s who puts a ridic saddle:bar ratio for show off. It's the 41 anyway.
