Holy: thanks 
the bike besides looking good rides really great. Brent @ steelmans is an awsome guy... maybe in a few years I'll have him build me one of his carbon frames ^^ .
I've only put 75 road miles on it... due to all this heavy rain lately ... damn this rain needs to stop dry up and give me some outdoors riding time. Esp for this long Xmas weekend. but i think Cheese and people stuck in the snow area's have it worse ...
Cheese: I feel for ya ... snow sucks
and If ya have to deal with wind too , oh man LOL .

Bars look a little over-rotated on the Cyfac, but if it's comfortable to you, that's all that matters. Another option is trying for a -17 degree WCS stem.
And wow, I didn't realize they made tires with reflective sidewalls nowadays.

Windsor Kennet.Got this in August of this year from bikesdirect. An aluminum frame with carbon seat stays and fork and Ultegra 10 speed drivetrain/brakes. I upgraded the wheels to Velocity Areohead Nuvians with titanium spokes to get the wheel weight down to 1500 grams. I am a 210 lb rider and needed a higher spoke count.

My '05 Reno
It's undergone a few changes since I took the photo a few days ago. I've swapped out the 105 crankset for a '06 Elita Compact GXP. I have a hilly century lined up I may need the extra gear. I also switched to a 90mm stem as I've been having fit problems. The Problem you ask!?, the LBS never fitted me
