Ugly frame turned out beautiful!

Looks amazing Ryan, but considering your past I had no doubts.
Evo 4.9kg SL3 6.64kg Slice RS 8.89kg viewtopic.php?f=10&t=110579" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'll post a full build sheet later, but for now, the below weight is sans pedals. My extra set of Speedplays are waiting for the ti bowties to come back in stock at Toronto Cycles (@delorre, good eye for noticing they aren't Ti) so pedals are going back and forth between this and the Classic.
I haven't cut the seatpost yet, which I'm hoping should shed 20g or so, and I still need to order an Extralite headset and top cap. Right now I think those two items are +20g. I could also redo the tape job and save about 10g. I have some friction in the rear brake cable run so I may do that anyway. Unfortunately, the weight will probably increase from here as I sold the THM Fibulas today (ee's are coming from a friend, +25g) and I'm replacing the Extralite chainrings with SRAM powerglide chainrings too (+25g).
I'm contemplating getting an extra tubular wheelset since the Litespeed Classic needs a pair to replace the H Plus Son which I'm don't like very much. I'm either going to get another set of Bora 35s (yeah, I like them) or I may try the FSE 25T with house brand hubs. At $999 for 1030 grams, it seems like a pretty good deal.

Thanks all.
Got the J&L spindles in. They hollowed out the center which was a nice touch and should put them about 10g less than my current ti/ti pair or about 144g.
I've been waiting for Toronto Cycles to get the Ti bowties back in stock but they're overdue by two months now. I may gamble and try the J&L set.

This is really coming together nicely. I'm liking the subtle blue accents. It's classy. Great job.

I'm using J&L bowtie for more than a year without any issue.

Where do you source the J & L components from. Through eBay or do they have a website as well?
