New CX, Rain, Winter, Ice, Off Road Bike
Took about a week to get everything in and all put together.

Totally sweet. I'm looking at getting a do-it-all bike, and that would be nice. Very nice.

Only one thing I'd change... a white saddle on a cross bike?

I agree, thinking of changing to a black saddle.
All complete at around $2,000 for what is shown in the pictures. I already had the SRAM Red groupo, DA cassette, stem, bars, saddle, Polar CS600 w power, and training wheels. Plan to use my existing Zipp 404 tubi's for races.

Nice ride. Just installed some TRP brakes myself (not the uber sexy one's though) and am loving them.

Gorgeous bike. Got any wider pics of the garage? That floor is awesome. I'm working on mine now and am looking for ideas.

Is that just a standard or compact crank? If you plan on racing cross, your going to want to pick up a true cross crank. With that set up, you will never get into the big ring. Super nice bike though.
