Well, my frame arrived safely in San Leandro today, and I ducked in the LBS door just before closing to take a look. Chris fished it out of the box and hung it up for me to take some pictures, and graciously waited around while I did so, even though he had to be somewhere...
Without further ado...
The elegant head badge:
It does have decals, but I think that's OK - and Bubba told me they can be peeled off anyway
Look at those welds!
And Chris has a few other non-stealthy Sevens just cluttering up the place - Mimitabby, I think the orange one is right up your alley!
(I also recognized Trek420's Mondonico in the store waiting for some work!)
On Tuesday I'll take my "old" bike over to swap the wheels and pedals,and then by the end of next week I'll have a ridable bike!

I stopped by the LBS yesterday to visit my frame again, and drop off my wheels. Chris is building up my bike today and tomorrow, and the plan is for me to "take delivery" Saturday sometime. Woo hoo! (Local TE-ers - Please see my post in the ride forum for the "inaugural ride!")
Here's a picture of the lovely curves in the chain and seat stays:
I am so excited!

Let's see if I can remember the details:
From my old bike:
mavic Ksyrium wheels, Look pedals, and selle an-atomica saddle
new:
Chris King headset (pewter)
Simano XTR mtn rear cassette and XTR RD
Simano DuraAce short-reach shifters and brakes
Utegra triple (24-38-53) and cranks
IRD FD (interloc racing design - supposed to be good with big tooth gaps like I have)
Salsa seat post (separate adjustment screws for fore/aft and tilt)
Salsa "short and shallow) handlebars
nice dark red Fizik bar tape
Did I forget anything?
I've decided for the time being to leave the decal on the down tube, but we're taking the model decal ("Alaris") off the top tube, so it won't be totally stealth.Keep calm and carry on...
