Thought about posting before, but I didn't have a good pic of my bike and I didn't want to post another garage door photo. Well today I found a great place for a pic. It's a Seven Odonata with S&S couplers, Ultegra, FSA cockpit and seatpost, and Mavic Ksyrium SL SSC. Let er rip!
Thanks for sharing.

I'm really intrigued by the stem. Its replicates a quill stem's clean look/angles (increased stack but with -17º bend). According to VO the 100mm weighs 148grams. Can you verify that? If so thats actually great - considering the extra stack height built in.
great build. I always wanted a Traitor Ruben but ended up getting a Redline Metro Classic.

Anyways, about the stem...weight of 148g seems a little optimistic considering the stack height. However, it doesn't FEEL likes it weighs much more than my nitto UI-2EX that it replaced -and that was around 150g thereabouts. I do like the look on a steel bike...and its performed just fine.
Looks like I will have to snap a few more pics of the bike!

Whoa! Both those bikes are awesome! What cassettes are you running on those wheels? Titanium carbide coated cogs just like the chains? Both frames have that funky top tube flowing into the seat stays thing going, but it works on these two bikes... Not usually a fan of black De Rosas, but the green pops out great! HOT
