It starts as a very THOUGHTFUL Christmas gift .... soon it will obsess me until the set is complete. I can't leave it on my bedside table all lonely now can I????

Bite the bullet and just get it done. You'll never feel complete until you do.

Get 'er done. Next thing you know you will be shaving your legs...oh wait...never mind.

What's the rest of the bike going to be? Frame, fork, wheels? If I had my druthers I would keep my wheels, fork, stem, post, pedals and replace everything else. Not that there is anything wrong with them but you know how it is. I would get a custom steel or Ti frame built for all day rides, chopped Brooks saddle, Ritchey carbon bars, and Campy or SRAM everything. Now that would be pimp. I hope this year to do all of that but the Campr or SRAM thing.

I have a Specialized Tarmac. Full carbon with the dampening technology they used on the Roubaix. It's probably my dream frame(it's the boxier one...not the common tube style), and when I'm done with it....ahhhhhhhh it will be a beauty. I'll upgrade the wheels...probably put some zipps on, and the bars are decent but they're the only thing not carbon on it right now other than the components/wheels. Good thing my mtb upgrades are cheaper...
