Current Stage Info:

Brought the frame back out of storage. Needed a new headset as the original Campy one was toast. Got the super low profile Hellbender from Cane Creek. Moved components over from the Snyder and upgraded the RD, handlebars, stem, seatpost and saddle. Painted the 105 shifter covers black so they look less dated. Feels very fast. Faster than the Snyder (sorry Seth).
