well guys after looking around for a bike for weeks i came to the conclusion that i cudent afford the bike i wanted ....so i decided to buy a frame and start from there and put the best components on it that i could afford with a budget in mind so here goes :P
bought a ribble 7005 frame/carbon itm forks off a forum member:
dident fancy the color and there was a couple marks on it so i stripped it ,got it painted professionally,did it in 2 pack off white color:
put the itm carbon forks and bars and new campag veloce brakes,rear derailer
waiting on new type ribble decals(vynal) to come to put on ,and also a set of campag khamsin wheels to come..........

Did you get a recommendation from a chap called Eazy rider with regards to the decals? If so I would be grateful to know who the ebay decal seller is.0

Looking well smart - leave the decals, black seat post, decent black seat (a Selle Italia SLR always looks well smart and are extremely comfortable) and 2x black bottle cages to complete the uniformity - be well smart I reckon.0

spot the difference :P

Only because it really suits my backside but this would go great with your bike (if it was mine):
BTW. The red bar tape looks great!0 -
If you look at where your hoods are (a fair of time spent on them, I will assume) in comparision to the top of the headtube, then you could actually slam the stem, getting rid of spacers underneath and levelling out the bars.
You could even get a stem with a higher angle to achieve this as well.
No compromise on your riding position - would look better.0 -
