I like it!
My new frame came today too.
According to the oh-so-accurate bathroom scale method, it weighs 3.6 pounds with frame, fork, headset, seatpost clamp and bottle cage bolts. I could probably get it below 3 by removing all the decals.
I'm still trying to decide what groupset to go with. Most likely it will be Ultegra. I tried to talk myself into Campy, but I didn't have the budget for anything more than Centaur and all my other bikes are Shimano.

if nothing else it's fun to build and research your spec bike

Ha! I know what you mean there is a lot of branding on these frames! My size small came in at 1086g for frame including bolts and 413 for fork. I also weighed the expansion bolt for the steerer which was really high at 69g. There's a cheap replacement if you care about these things from cannondale at 12g.

It's definitely been fun deciding what parts I want to build it with.

SRAM mount for Garmin Edge
Finally arrived in the mail today. Definitely felt the aero advantage on the trainer.
I think it looks very clean.

I picked up some Boyd's 58mm carbon clinchers. UPS delivers them today. Very fast turnaround time. I will post pics/review when the weather warms up.

NiteRider Lumina 650. Tried it out this morning, on strobe, in dense fog. I'm impressed.

Excited to put these on, but it will have to wait because the guy I bought them from didn't think I needed the spindle for some reason!!??? 
He is sending it out to me tomorrow, but i leave out of state this thursday and then dont come back till next week. Good news is I'm on vacation for an entire week I get back, so i hope to get some good cycling in!

More parts trickling in for my build...
I'm still waiting for the bottom bracket and front derailleur, hopefully arriving later today.
So, I was going to be done, but then I saw this on craigslist...
...and I figured "Why build one, when you can have two for twice the cost?" Of course, in reality, all the parts for the LHT are going to come off of another bike.
