I built this from the frame up. The goal is to make it as light weight as possible. But for now, I built it up with what I had. This is my commuter/winter single speed. Who knows, maybe it will get gear some day. I have some Ultegra/ Open Pro wheels to go on it, or maybe my old Zipp 440's. I haven't decided. I eventually want to put a nice carbon fork on it. I have carbon bars, and stem. Then it will be finished off with some white Brooks Leather bar tape. Any suggestions?
