That's a nice looking Fuji, I really dig that frame style. I really, really dig it. Of course, I'm a softie for Fujis cause I have an '06 Roubaix. I think you need to replace your stem and seat, though. Especially stem. Rear wheel is OK, but I think there are better options. I think you should get a plain, brushed silver deep dish wheelset. Just some plain silver Deep Vs would probably look cool w/ a black brooks saddle or something like that? I donno, just sayin...

hmm? i'm guessing this is the picture that was being referred to
https://lh5.ggpht.com/_c8VJBUMZ8w8/Sb...tput_night.jpg
this was my first shot at a custom shield for a projector from a rx330... the final version had a sharper cutoff... in this pic the shield wasnt at the focal point.

I know the spoke cards are purely fashion but I competed in all those events and even won a few so I feel like I've earned the right to stick silly bits of paper in my wheel.
fuzz2050, what do you mean by wonky? I tried to keep the housing as short as possible without putting in any sharp bends as my old hand-me-down parts need all the help they can get when it comes to braking performance. I switch between bullhorns and drops depending on my mood/needs so it'd be a pain swapping housing and cable lengths; this setup lets me keep one set of cables/housing for both handlebar setups.

I love that Trek frame. I am actually kind of looking for one of those in a 58 to build up. the cable housing is crap as are the spoke cards. Even if you won those events, you shouldn't put the cards in your spokes, it's just hideous. Also, you don't need to run housing along the top tube. You cut the housing and just run the cable. When you have the housing going all along the top tube it looks horrible. I'm assuming that its SS not FG. If it is FG, just take off the rear brake
