It's like butter, my new-to-me CDA! My road history is mostly on high end steel, so it does surprise me that I could find a significantly smoother ride on a (mostly) steel bike! My roads are pretty rough as a rule, lots of chipseal and uneven surfaces. The CDA is really taming the road to a level my other bikes (Riv, Ritchey) can't. My only disappointment is that a 25mm is the fattest I can go, no dice with my Rolly Poly 28's. I took a lot of measurements from my other bikes to get into a similar position, and right off the bat I felt at home, even when standing. I have a few forum members to thank:
SBash Skip for the frame, Scott Barncat for the wheels and a few bits, and William for a stem.

No pics yet, I need to finalize the bar/tape, and figure out a complimentary saddle.
60cm CDA, carbon fork and stays, CK Classics on Velocity, Sram Force, some heavy SPD's, around 19.5 lbs
Thanks for such a great forum that gave me the chance to easily piece this together!
