You bet. The plan is to swap over the group and parts from my current orbea orca through.
I still have to go over it with my wife of when I can get it; considering we just bought her a pista via condotti ($875 out the door w/ lifetime service; not to mention the upgrades I bought for it already)and the fact that just the frameset alone runs up the cost of about 7 via condotti's.
Probably the hardest part for me in my opinion is choosing which colorway to buy. Poo.

Click on the large picture at the top and scroll. Lusting the black/ black but it might look too similar to the knock off chinese eebay carbon frames with the squiggly fork and stays.

I agree, the all black looks like the eBay knock offs. I like the white/black/gray personally.

Today I called 3 LBS's asking for a 26.0-31.8 handlebar shim and none of them had it. I've lost what little faith I had in LBS's.

Anyway I might have to go to abaxo for a black one because problem solvers only sells a raw one and I'm pretty sure a layer of spray paint would jeopardize the fit.

Yea, this was supposed to be for my 002's, too.
I don't think a layer of spraypaint would affect the fit that much. Manufacturing tolerances probably aren't that tight.

Yea, I did that too and still don't think differently.
Oh yea, and one guy on the phone told me it was a bad idea to shim 26.0 to 31.8. Herp/derp. So glad I called before I biked over in this heat.

today I got my wheelset in, but without the FSAxle axle but I did get two lockrings sent with it, yay. was only expecting the one. Also see it's suggested I don't use Surly or Euro-Asia cogs - glad I read that looking for an axle before installing one.
The h+son rims I got also do not fit veloplugs unfortunately :/

Decided to give Endomondo a try as mapmyride annoys me. Really nice based on first impressions. Also ordered a Blaq mini you pouch.

Having a Phil hub and cheaping out on a cog doesn't make much sense.

All-city cogs are actually pretty nice. Angie's had one for quite a while now and it's always been really quiet and smooth.

Avoid surly cogs at all costs. Overpriced and loud.

heh I have a surly right now on the soma. I don't even notice it anymore. It's just incredibly loud initially I think. I also think it was less than $20
