Sorry if the file is too large, this is my first attempt at posting a photo.

Very nice build! bars might be a bit slippy like that, but I like the minimalist style. ;)
Seriously, let us know how it ends up riding, but it looks clean, classic, doubt I'd change a thing. Maybe the post - I can't really get my head around how chunky they look. But we'll see if I change my mind when my 05 481SL arrives. And I guess there aren't many options for a 25mm post.
Great build!

That is awesome looking. Love that black satin finish. I have the 481 in Blue and White, which I like looking at almost as much as riding, but I have to say - your 381 looks better. Very classic looking as another poster said.

Thank you both for your generous praise. Obviously there will be bar tape. It is my intention to do a few laps around the cul de sac and perhaps a bit more to verify that the hood position is correct and comfortable before I do the final tightening of those bolts. As soon as I am satisfied the position is final I intend to tape the bars (black Cinelli cork).

It sure is pretty, isn't it?
