I am pleased you have adjusted the angle of your saddle. Horizontal is a good starting point, but a very slight angle either + or - suit some riders better.
I also have a 50cm FM028, but with the ISP. They are actually made by a company on the Chinese mainland called Greatkeen - Deng-Fu is, I believe, a re-seller.
I like your build, but how does the Campag cassette work with a SRAM rear mech? I guess you know that the spacing of Campag is different from Far East Shim-RAM?

I knew Campy and Sram/Shim had not the same spacing, but I tried first and there is no real problem. That's not perfect, but it's ok.
I've heard about Greatkeen, but I do not really know who's the producer and who's the seller...
I'll try some other angle for the saddle to find the one which fits me perfectly

Your custom paint really makes it look very much like a Trek Madone.
Long live the horizontal top tube, standard crankset, and Italian threaded bottom bracket.

- Location: Lima, Peru and the Washington DC area - it's complicated.
I like it - especially the interesting paint job.
May I ask why the interesting combination of components - SRAM/Campagnolo/Most?
Tell us more on how it rides and how the components work together!
Road bike: Cervelo R3, Campagnolo Chorus/Record mix...
Supercommuter: Jamis Renegade...
Oldie but goodie: De Rosa Professional Slx, Campagnolo C-Record...
And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

Hi everyone
The paintjob is a personnal design, inspired by Scott ( CR1 and R1 ). It cost to me 75 USD.
My first aim was to have a bike enough light for my humble level.
The first build was with Campa Record 2008 and Centaur. That's why I've got a Record 11-25 casette. For the crank, it's all about the price.
Then, I turned to Sram Red/Force. I will send this summer my rear wheel to someone who will check the pressure in the rays and change the body to a Sram one.
My sensations :
After riding this bike with Mavic Ksyrium Elite ( Conti GP 4000S and Michelin Latex inner-tube ), my feelings were good, confortable, reactive... Then I had the carbon wheels, and I've learnt what reactive really meant The bike became less confortable, but every time I pushed on the pedals, I had the feeling that it was for advance, and not to make the wheels turn ...
To conclude, this bike has no bad sides to me. It have the behavior that I wanted it to have
The saddle orientation is now better
