I'm still fooling around with the cockpit but I'm getting too old to slam that stem...

I'm still undecided about the chainrings, mostly because I don't know if I should try some Oval Q-Rings or Osymetrics but it definitely makes sense to go 39 for the inner ring

To "look" pro you need to have between 7 - 10 cm of drop.
Right now I've got 9.2 cm of seat to handlebar drop

No Problem from me... I hope to see you and your beautiful bike around, I'm in Delray! I rode with a guy from Boca that had the same bike. It looked fantastic in the sun where you could really see the carbon.

Same here, what are you riding? Maybe I'll see you around!
