PL Merckx build!
So, here is my latest build, with frame,groupo and seat post purchased from the fine folks here on the world famous PL. Specials thanks to guylimey for the groupo, pgrizzwald for the beautiful frame, and Clean39T for the seatpost. Assembled and set up by Arkadiy at Cyclepath in San Mateo Ca. (Who happens to be a wealth of knowledge and experience, a real old school Russian cyclist) This setup came in a just under 16 pounds, lighter than I expected. I went with a SR 11 groupo so I could swap wheels with my Parlee, so I can get this bike lighter than it is with CF wheels. But, all in all, first ride was outstanding, had to work out a few bugs, but everything seems tight now. Looking forward to more miles soon...

Thanks everyone, it really is an amazing ride, and much lighter than I thought it would be, you could really weight weenie this thing, I didn't, but you could.
