Thanks. If I wasn't an idiot and paid attention to the difference between BB30 and PF30 I would be riding it tomorrow.

Those are perfect position, personally I don't like ergos...shallows would be perfect IMHO. Those wheels are one of my favorites, and are built like tanks...it didn't look well on my Venge so I sold mine. This is a perfect example, of a Hot bike is a Hot bike regardless if its finished or not. This one is going to be smokin!!

Personally, I'd actually rotate them up a bit, keep the tops more level, otherwise it makes a bit of a funny angle with the hoods.

Those bars will be ugly at any angle. Sorry.

Unless those bars are one of your favorites or you are just set on using them, I'd look into trying a different style. But I understand thats not always a priority or a financial option.

Wrong. If you rotate them up any further the drops would be useless in a sprint because your forearms will hit the top bar. As is, it would be close. The hoods can be moved down.

Saddle works...red on the stem clashes with the yellow and green. Nice bike though.

Unreal. We both had an SL1, then a TM01 and now I am also building up an electric Parlee frame.
