Oh my, very nice! I take it you didn't use a Specialized seatpost (no zertz insert) ? Still looks amazing

Thanks -- shortly after that pic it started snowing, so I haven't gotten to ride (outdoors) yet. I have a few of those zertz posts laying around, but I have no complaints with the Ec90 so I kept it. I bought the frame and swapped everything from my 07 s-works over.

New for 2010, called Stealth Grey. The other ones would have been a disaster on my old blue bike!

I think they weigh 2000g. I don't feel the extra pound when I am riding. My other wheels are 1500g Heds. I built the bike up to be fast, not to be light. I don't even notice the extra weight on extended climbs -- these wheels are sick. I'll stop before I get into a rant about weight vs aerodynamics.

Thanks-- I had it on the stand tonight to tune the RD, the token cassette is kind of a pain to dial in. I was able to use one less space with the longer headtube on this bike.

It's finally ready for building. I got the fork today; phallenthoul set me up with an awesome deal on the full carbon fork and it came just in the nick of time.
