Not rust, They seem to be copper colored. Will be one of the first things to go.

Looks great.
I believe your smallest chain ring is bolted incorrectly. I'm sure the little triangle is supposed to be behind the crank arm to assist with smoother gear changes. (I could be very wrong too)

but i bet you have plenty of time everthing works great when it's new! enjoy!

What? Shifters? What are shifters? And why do you have muliple chainrings and cogs? That's the weirdest looking single-speed I've ever seen...

I like. Mutt bikes rule! Looks like it might be kind tight to get the rear brake cabling around a fender in the back though.

Looks like you got a deal on a 2005 model. Interestly the redline conquest disc r has both disc brakes and 105 shifters. Don't have a clue on acquisition costs though as didn't find dealer.
Disc brakes would be overkill for denver area, nice but usually not needed. I would second to look for a good ultegra shifter.
