Nice! Be careful with the matching outfits. My wife rides a 49cm KG461 with Centaur and Orion IIs. So far her favorite bike.

It took a while to get the parts together (thank you Seattle Bike Swap!), but they were finally finished this morning... Just in time for the heavens to open up and bestow a deluge upon the earth. So there's been a five minute ride in the rain, but no serious saddle time yet.

49cm, Dura-ace 9sp brifters, Ultegra r.der, Bontrager triple crank [update: FSA Carbon triple!), and Rolf Vectors. The white tape looks great, but begs for a matching white saddle.

HIS:

His looks like a rolling advertisement for FSA: FSA K-Force stem, FSA K-Force handlebar, FSA K-Force Light seatpost, compact FSA SLK crank, and FSA C-16 compact-specific front derailleur. The rest is Ultegra 10sp with some well used Ksyrium Elites [update: RealDesign UltraFlys - only 1430 grams! and added a Garmin Edge 305 HR+CAD).

I can't wait for the liquid weather to pass.

A special thanks to Chas and Tino and Look USA's ridiculously good customer service. This is a company that not only makes superb bikes, but has the type of people working for them that makes you proud to support their business. :thumbsup:
