Jeesh, after reading through this thread and viewing the photos, I won't even try to keep up. However, my steed is a custom-built Litespeed Vortex. I don't have photos, but maybe I'll get around to posting its blueprints one day.
Specs? Campy Record, Wound-Up fork, old tubular rims, Conti Sprinter 250s, 73 degree parallel tubes, 40cm chainstays & 59.9cm front end (wheelbase = 99.4cm), 60cm seat tube, 57.5cm top tube, 18.5cm head tube. And, no decals or paint anywhere. (Both Litespeed and Wound-Up were nice enough to return favors and delivered everything plain-Jane.)
As you can see, they are a bit removed from stock Vortex specs, and might be considered closer to the Ultimate's specs--especially with the tight rear triangle and short wheelbase. However, those specs deliver exactly what I requested from Litespeed -- a quick-handling bike that is just short of twitchy. (But a ***** to ride with no hands in a crosswind.)
Nicknamed by others: "The Stealth Bike"

My first new road bike is a LeMond Big Sky S. 
Before that I had a 25+ year old Samurai, the LeMond is a good 13 lbs lighter.
Hey Gasper, we can only hope about the kitten thing.
