Here's the specs.
Chris King headset
Campy Record Shifters, Derailleurs and cassette 13-29
Specialties TA Carmina 165 mm compact Crankset 48-34
Zero Gravity Brakes
Richey WCS Stem
Modolo Venus handlebars 34 cm
Thompson Masterpiece Seat Post
Handbuilt wheels, 650c Nimble Rims, Sapim CX-Ray Spokes, Tune rear hub, AC front hub, 1185 g without skewers, Campy Record Skewers
Michelin Axil Pro Race Tires
She's 15.4 lbs and could have been lighter if I was able to use the Campy Record crankset. But I like the Carmina, it's pretty bike jewelry.
I love how proportioned she is on her 650c wheels!

That's a pretty pony you got there, Kathi. I'm curious: What sort of saddle do you have on it?

She is absolutely beautiful, but it seems like the top end of your gearing is awful low. I ran your numbers through the sheldon brown site and it seems your top gear ratio is only 90. Why did you choose a 48 vs a 50 ring in front? That would help a little. I have a 50/34 compact double and the shifting is just fine on it, and I have it paired with a 12/27 rear, so for me even the 50/13 would be a tad low for the high end. If you swapped your 48 for a 50 you wouldn't compromise your low end but could get a bit more of a high end. But, what is important is that you chose gears that work best for your body! Do enjoy her, she is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
