Yeah, that's pretty redonk (in a good, very good way). I love semi-oddball stuff like this.
My only concern would be that the brake hoods seem to be hanging pretty low on those bars. Could just be me being used to newer-style bars, though.

updates:
- Switched out old SRAM Red FD for a 2012 Red FD (was really really easy to install, and works great for the first quick ride). Old Red FD was great when dialed-in, but could be finicky upon installation.
- went with the matching Ritchey Classic seatpost. The Thomson Masterpiece setback was a marvel of engineering but I like it better matching and like the 25mm of setback (compared to the 10mm of the Masterpiece).
- Ritchey Carbon Logic Curve Handlebars. Same curve as the Ritchey Classic Curve in Polished aluminum- but now add another level of comfort to an already very comfortable steel bike.

Don't get me wrong, I really like this bike! definitely HOT!
But, writing that you "don't need all new top of the line parts" about a bike with all SRAM Red components is... well, it pretty much actually has "all new top of the line parts".

I really like the blue pin striping, but the tires are too much.

Love that RB-1. Holy crap. I raced one for 10 years. Loved the hell out of that bike.
Here's my new 2nd bike:

Thanks for the kind words, all.
ravenmore: correct. One exposure, one flash... Here's my setup shot (Taken with my Rebel, with my new old 1D MkIII in the foreground) (EXIF on both photos is intact, FWIW)

hey man, don't give away your secrets... you should be like:
"um i took it using my 10 year old nokia phone's camera after a ride last saturday"
I personally use my trusty Lumix GF-1 with a 20mm pancake. I live in Brooklyn so usually the best place to get a shot is at a handball court during an overcast day... but luckily I have a *garage now so it works out great.
*brooklyn garages are small. so small in fact that I have to have any passengers get out before parking the car. then I drive in with 2inches of clearance to the right side so I can open my door "safely" (still won't open all the way but it will open enough to avoid door damage
).

rccardr, judging from these pictures, and level of detail on the bikes, I think I almost bought a bike you listed on CraigsList this past spring...but if you're not in NOVA and don't CL then I could be wrong

thanks! PM me when the photos go up -- I don't hit this thread too often...
^^Hot bike and Hot Shot! Wow you raced for 10 years on a RB-1? I bought mine because it was my dream bike displayed promentently at my LBS as a 12y/o. Now all a need is a Lamborghini Countach/Ferrari Testaroasa to complete my pre-teen dream-ride fantasies.

Don't mind sharing -- the nokia thing would be funny though.I did love the Bridgestone. My next bike was a Ritchey Road Logic, which I thought of as a nicer version of an RB-1. Good times.
Cool on the Lumix -- those are great cameras
