I really think this will be my next frame.... by my calculations I need a 52cm frame based on comparisons of my current frame to the geo of the 066sl. Do you think you should have gone down a size? How tall are you and what's your inseam if you don't mind me asking?

yeah i do kind of wish i sized down to a 52.
1- it would've looked cooler with more post and stem
2- i prefer a bit shorter front-center for handling a bit more weight over the front (with a 110mm stem)
3- less stack height would've been nice
but looks aside ill be perfectly content with the 54 once my 120mm/17° stem arrives
measurements are;
height : 5'11/180cm
PBH/true inseam : 35in/90cm
both measured while in cycling shoes

Where did you get the red blings for the campy shifters?
"New" bar tape too!
Nice bike!

How's it holding up? How many miles do you have on it?
been holding up great. i have roughy 3500mi/5600km on it.
i don't really have any complaints, its taken whatever I've thrown at it. recently some small cracks have developed near the seat clamp but i attribute this as user error on my part, i definitely over-torqued the clamp.
the only criticism i can come up with is that the fork seems like it could be a bit more forgiving. i didn't mind the stiffness at first but now i do wish it would soak up a bit more road vibrations and small impacts. in the future i may consider something like a columbus grammy to replace it.
heres the spec of how it sits
frame: fm-066sl - 54cm
fork: 066sl
headset: neco
stem: pro plt 130mm x -10°
bar: pro plt compact - 38cm
saddle: bontrager
post: bontrager 1bolt
clamp: profile racing slim jim
crank: shimano 105 5700 - 53/39
pedal: shimano r540
f.der: shimano 105 5700
r.der: shimano 105 5700 - short cage
cassette: shimano 105 5700 - 12-27
chain: shimano ultegra 6701
brakes: shimano 105 1055 - short reach
levers/shifters: campagonolo centaur 10 speed powershift
cabling: jagwire racer
wheels: shimano rs21
tires: panaracer gravelking - 28mm (acutal = 27.5mm)
tubes: vittoria ultralight
other: token chain catcher + alloy f.der mounting bolt, jtek shiftmate for campag10 x shimano10 compatibility, basic alloy bottle cages, custom top cap, origin 8 bar tape, bolt on skewers, blinky light
no idea on the kg's, but its not really lightweight. wheels/tires and crank are quite hefty
