The frame is in. It's been on display at High Road for the past two weeks waiting for parts. It looks fantastic and is lighter than I thought it would be. The spec list has changed from what I had originally wanted. I'll be getting a Rival group with Force crank (it's carbon and lighter/stiffer than the Rival crank). Brakes are TRP carbon (a bit pricey for brakes, but I couldn't help myself when I saw them). Stem, seatpost and bars are all FSA. Wheels are still the Shimano whatever came off my Tarmac. Tires are going to be whatever is in stock, not discontinued (like the Kendas) and not complete garbage. I picked up a 143mm white Romin saddle today as well as Specialized Comp Mt shoes. High Road only has one white Romin in stock in 143mm, or else I would have bought two and replaced the Toupé on the Tarmac. I have a feeling both saddles will see time on both bikes until I get another Romin. If my parts get ordered, I may actually get to ride this stupid thing before the new year. I've only been trying to buy it since July. We'll see. Until then I'll just look at the pretty pictures.
