My new Gunnar Roadie is now finally complete... just as winter comes roaring in. Luckily we now have a trainer so I can at least ride it. Below is a pic of the bike all built up. The only asterisk to note is that the rear skewer is the one for use with the trainer, so just imagine the pretty campy record one in its place.. *Also the tape on the bar tape is hideous yellow electrical tape which I will (hopefully soon) replace with black tape.
p.s. if anyone wants to know the specs, I will happily rattle them off...

thanks everyone for the kind words. here's the details:
-Gunnar Roadie 54cm
-Campy 2007 compact 2x10 centaur group; 13/29 in rear.. I'm a hill slug
-wheels are 2006 record hubs laced 3 cross to Mavic Open Pros, DT double -butted spokes.. conti tires (p.s. thanks for the wheels mom!)
-reynolds ouzo comp fork
-cane creek headset (wanted a chris king but alas...)
-look keo classic pedals
-bontrager carbon seat post, specialized jett saddle (ouch! -- will hopefully change for next year)
-handlebars are bontrager fit VR -- these may also change as I think I may want bigger ones
-the stem is this cool specialized one that my new fav bike shop recommended- it has this neat little shim thing so that you can do 16 OR 8 degrees + or - . very cool I think.
In the end a little more than half of the bike was new and the rest was gently used. so far so good!
