yeah, im ****ing pleased as **** with how the bike turned out, and getting the wrong size the first time actually turned into a blessing and allowed me to make a few changes.
also, build specs:
true temper platinum ox tubing
pacenti lugs
chris king head set
phil wood bottom bracket
paul cranks
paul high-flange flip flop hubs laced to velocity aeroheads
thomson elite seat post
johnny coast custom stem
selle italia turbo saddle
not sure about final bars and pedals yet

How much did the JCoast stem run? A thread on the frame listserv was tossing around a few hundred dollars including labor and materials which strikes me as umm...NUTS.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the quality of such a beautiful stem, but it's not necessary to have a custom stem. Hell, the steel Nitto looks pretty damn nice and at half the price.
