I'm kinda excited
Just picked this up today. 2010 Litespeed Icon. Tomorrow I'm gonna go into the shop to see how much it's gonna cost me to build up. All I know is my handlebars and Rival so far. Haven't decided on wheels, saddle, post, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to EP all the stuff I need. 
Sorry for the crappy photo and lack of white garage door. I figured white front door would be okay.

That is a very beautiful frame and I am sure it rides like a dream.
I am having the same issue with parts... I have a feeling I will be ebaying all winter to get it built up!

Thanks, guys. Part of me wants to just move all the crappy components from my current bike to this one, just so I can ride it. But then another part wants this one to be great, and that can't be rushed.

Just got home from the shop. Should come in a bit under a grand to build it up. Hopefully I'll be riding it in the next month or two!
