Here she is:
Frame: Cyfac Proxidium - Aluminum w/ Carbon Fork & FSA Integrated Headset
Shifters/Brake Levers, Rear/Front Derailleur, 12-25 Cassette - Campy Chorus
Crankset - FSA Pro Team Issue
BB - FSA Platinum Pro TI
Brakes - Mavic
Seatpost - Thomson Elite
Saddle - Fizik Arione
Stem - Ritchey Pro OS (might replace with Thomson X2 when it comes out)
Bars - Ritchey WCS OS
Pedals - Shimano Ultegra SPD-SL
Wheels - Ksyrium Elite
Tires - Michelin Carbon
Weighs in around 17.5 lbs-18 lbs.
I did my best to balance form and function. Looks much better in person, especially the paint (no stickers, only paint) on the frame. Maybe once I figure out how to use my digi cam that I got for christmas I can take a better picture.
I would like to thank Erik from www.Veloeuropa.com for the great customer service. And also John from Shamrock Cycle ( www.shamrockcycle.com ) for helping decide and put together the bike. Both were a pleasure to work with. More pictures to come at some point.

I rode for like 20 minutes outside today. I had arthoscopic surgery on my knee 'bout 3 weeks ago (scraped out some cartilage) so I can't really go too hard yet. Feels great though. Very stiff & fits perfect. At first I thought it wasn't shifting, but then I realized they were just so fast and silent that I couldn't feel/hear it shift at all. Can't wait to log some serious miles this coming year.

-- Your bike looks like it's moving, even while sitting still. A fast road machine. And great therapy for the knee.

Yeah, it definitely gives me a good reason to go do some PT. Fixed the other two pic's, didn't realize at first that I didn't put the right permissions on the files.

Congo Rats!
But you so screwed up! You need more water bottle holders. Oh well, live and learn.
Enjoy

Very nice. I love the component mix and the frame is sweet. I'd love to see some close-ups on the frame and paint if you get a chance.

Wow!! You rode that outside???!!!! That would be like taking the Mona Lisa outside for a walk in the park. Don't you feel guilty actually riding a piece of art like that?

LordOpie - I will definitely be adding a second bottle holder once it's warm enough to ride outside.
55/Rad - Will do soon. I'll see if I can get a close up of some of the welds as well. They look VERY nice.
Dchiefransom - I was very careful with it.
