What's that green stuff all over the ground?

I'm not sure which "crappy phone" you are using, but most any phone not too old has a pretty great camera on it. That excuse is quickly fading away… (Again, don't blame the pots for the bad soup, usually it's the chef!)
Oh, and the bike is still hot, IMO.

If you mix: 35 mm = 1.378". Shell is slightly larger, thread pitch slightly finer. May seem to fit, but will be loose.

I'd rather have a mixed drivetrain that fits perfect, than a brand-name-correct one that doesn't.

The phone is a pretty outdated HTC EVO 3D. The camera isn't terrible, but any cell phone simply isn't going to have adequate lensing to take a quality photo (from real camera standards... which most users will judge quality by).

New resident to Florida myself, enjoying the winter before the SW Florida air turns into soup.

Forgive the parascope I just finished the build today and need to get some hours in the saddle before I decide to cut the steerer. Heading to Sufferlandia in a few minutes.

Like the Ritchey - but the red on the stem jumps out.
The Pug would be hot if not for the ugly black Ultegra crankset. Get a silver Athena on there!

some final notes
1) the background is the concrete block house of a roadway that makes a flyover by where i live. makes for a nice background
2) shot with my trusty old Nikon D40X with a Nikon 50mm AF-s 1.8. I can't say enough about this lens. Its cheap ($200), fast, light and robust. often times i don't need a tripod in low light because of to 1.8. I've gotten rid of all my other Nikon lenses and i just use this now. if you shoot nikon you need this lens
3) the bike is awesome to ride. The one thing i was nervous about is the saddle - its a 90 gram un-padded taiwan carbon saddle. Its actually not uncomfortable at all. but because there is no cover i felt like i was sliding all around it. the saddle is now 2cm higher than in the picture to match saddle height on other bikes
4) the carbon bottle cages inspire no confidence at all. I'm gonna switch back to more secure cages for all the races with crap roads.
5) the handle bar position is lower than other my other bike. has felt really good so far. so i'm probably gonna keep it that way.

I wanted an affordable prime lense, & now I find this lense to be my favorite. I rarely remove it from the body.

I agree that Ritchey deserves a full Ritchey component upgrade in Wet Black.

I love R5's, but unfortunately that don't get any love here on BF.
Trek, Cervelo,& Specialized(more recently) are on the "BF blacklist".

Considering this cost me about 1100 dollars total to put together, I think I've done quite well for myself.
