Thanks Sin-a-matic, I kinda like it too...
As far as it being too small, it's a 53cm and I intentionally ordered it small because I wanted really quick, tight handling in the city and good standover height. It feels perfect, in fact I'm actually considering picking up an even shorter stem so that I don't feel as stretched out. It might not be the most perfect setup for a century but that's not what this bike is for. With the risers it feels so responsive and quick when I'm riding through the city which is exactly the feel that I was going for when I ordered the 53cm.

The following is a really old picture. Since then I've switched to Nitto 123B drops, took off the front brake, and put on a matching yellow top tube cover.
