New wheels and saddle, build completed
Just added Zipp Team CSC wheels, Vittoria Rubino Pro 2's, and a Selle Italia Flite. Very happy with the way it came out. Went for a ride yesterday, although I soon regretted it because of the temperature, but as far as my numb body could tell it rode nice

I'll be interested to hear the ride reports on that leader setup, I've been tempted to pull the trigger and make a crazy TT bike for awhile...
Also, interesting that you're using mostly sram components except for the cassette and chain. To each their own of course but in my neck of the woods, no matter what setup you have everyone says that sram is king for cassettes and chains.
I feel like alot of new bikes that are shimano even come with sram cassettes stock these days no?

Got a great deal on the chain and cassette on PBK, that's why they are Shimano. The brakes are Shimano because my brother had them hanging around after upgrading to Dura Ace

I've been lucky enough to see it in person and it is indeed a fine build. Tristan86 caught some flack from another rider in our group regarding the high spoke count of the CSC's but they look great and I mean, c'mon, they're Zipps!
