felt AR
first of all- image shack sux. already know that. second- camera sux. i know that too. third- no white garage door, the valves are not hidden, crank arm not in line, etc etc etc
but here are some pix of my AR as its being currently built up. was in the shop, with only my iphone, so excuse the quality of the pics.
group is a mix of chorus and record 11. bars are aero wing oval concepts. brakes are light grey colored negaive g. wheels- american classics (training wheels) (zed techs for racing). seat pictured is only for build.
damm, its amazing how a bike shop can swing your day.
enjoy...

it was more their size. they are physically a little smaller than the campy brakes and tend to match the head-on silhouette of the frame better. plus the aesthetics (the color works with the gray in the frame)
and tho the frame isnt the lightest thing out there... the brakes might shave a hair or two off the scale to slightly compensate.

Nice build, although I would not have used ZG brakes (I like to stop 
). Why Yellow SwissStop brake pads on aluminum wheels with machined braking surfaces? You're going to go though those $50 pads pretty fast......
Also.... With all due respect, Felt + Campy feels weird (to me at least).... Used to see Shimano/SRAM on Felts. Kinda like putting Campy on a Trek or Shimano on a Pinarello..... But who cares right? Ride what you like.

Wheels are definitely ugly (as all american classics are) take those decals off and you'll be set.
