New ride
Built it yesterday after powdercoating. Put in the trainer last night for 45 minutes for final adjustments and shakedown. And today for it's maiden voyage, a nice 40 mile ride around the mountain.

Beautiful bike.
I dont usually like bikes in black if they have a bunch of decals. But yours hardly has any and really makes everything good about your bike stand out. I like it a lot.
What wheels and spec?

It's a disco bike... disco here, datgo dere. 
It's basically built from a bunch of parts I had laying around. I recently got a great deal on a 2007 Dura Ace 10 sp gruppo, with this build in mind. The Aksiums (good eye!) were left over from last year, and the Ritchey bars, stem and seat post were left over from another bike. Some new Keo Carbon pedals round it out.
The frame is hand built 853. nice welds huh?
