Damn, The bike's lookin good dubteka. Funny thing is, I thought I saw you last night as I was driving up Geary around 7:45, your pictures pretty much confirm it. We should get another SF group ride happening sometime soon.

This is my Mark V. All stock except for the Selle Italia Turbo Flite saddle, deep drop Syntace bars, and Cane Creek 200TT brake lever. What!

I love the Panasonic, but probably partly because I have an '87 DX-4000 roadie.

The lead sled weighs in at a relatively heavy 24 lbs and sports an awesome 6-speed SIS 12-23 cluster which is not, I repeat, not a great setup for an 80 mile mountain climbing run.

That is a super-sex bike there, ostro. I'm jealous. And Mack hubs would be a very nice touch. I like the Brooks, just a little far forward (aesthetically speaking).

I am still getting the cash together for the wheels. i have to add some wheels, hubs, abd spokes, that add to the bike; that is the next step.
As for the saddle, i think its gonna stay, its about comfort on that part, i have about 900miles on that saddle and its just at the breaking point. Also, that is the first morning i jumped on the bike, havent had the chance to dial everything in yet in the pics.
The ride feels good, i really dig the stiffness of the aluminium. Im looking forward to getting used to it, my pinarello feels so much more natural to me since that is all have been riding.
