Paying overdue penance to Krom (aka Return to Steel)
Been busy working, riding, healing from broken bones & surgery, then riding again. Only have time to post important stuff.
Anyhow, almost totally lost my way via carbon, AL, Ti, etc the past 2 years. Had to get back to some steel:

It's a beauty! I think I'll always keep a steel bike in my collection, I love the looks and the ride (haven't ridden carbon ever, don't know if I'll ever need to).

Getting a steel frame that fits me well and has good bits (the Mavic brakes are stellar), then taking it for a few spins this weekend has got me thinking I'll be riding the carbon less now and also probably selling a few other frames that I simply now can't justify having as they won't be getting enough attention/ riding time.

Heck, you've still got plenty of carbon fiber going on there! 
Handsome build...nice job.
