Here's my finished Litespeed L3 Ultegra 2012 with Shimano RS80 CL24 wheels and Cinelli ram bar...
It rides as good as it looks... :)

Question: Why do so many cyclists not stop at red lights? You would if you were in a car...

    Whoever put that together needs a slap.

    Bar tape and saddle dont match.
    Far to many stem spacers
    The cables are far to long

    All things that make an expensive bike look shit

    Haha. Well I do agree aesthetically the stem could do with a few less spacers (and it may have to happen) but i had it low on my old bike and when this came, as you see now, I actually liked it in the fact that longer rides didn't give me an achy lower back. I have long legs and short torso so it sort of worked. Still, I do agree with you...
    I can live with bar tape/saddle mis-match. The uber-cool bars sort of offset that anyway IMHO :D
    Cables too long?! Now that's one thing I have never heard said about a bike. I had not even noticed...

    Its not actually a super light bike (around 17lbs something I think) but it is so stiff (huge, sorry HUGE bottom bracket) but really compliant over the rough stuff, very stable downhill and with the lovely RS80 wheels, spritely uphills. Very happy.
