Best time of year!

Nice! The yellow's a nice touch. I've got the older ISIS versions of those cranks and am very impressed so far. Ridiculously stiff but shifts almost as well as DA. What frame are you hanging everything on?
As an aside, why can't SRAM expand the fit and finish of their top-end gruppos down the line? Force and Rival look/feel like crap compared to their Shimano counterparts.

Correct it will be the Project Yellow. It comes OSBB I will be making myself some adapters since the Zipp Distributor in Canada didn't stock the BB30 adapters.
Nice collection - saw it on Weightweenies too. That will be a bold looking bike.
Sounds awesome! What wheels are you gonna use?
I know, I know....Bonty tires on a Specialized? Blasphemy!
Sounds like it's gonna be a sweet ride!
But its hard to beat the price for what is a rebranded 290 tpi Vittoria Corsa.
Perty parts. Those tires are the best tubulars I've ridden. They are Corsa casings with a better tread design. It is almost the same tread as the handmade tubulars I got off of a Discovery bike from 07 that was Gusev's.
Post up pics ASAP.

For bar I will be going with theSpecialized classic SL.
Seat post will be a crank brothers cobalt 11. I think its a nice simple looking 160 g post. I will have to change the gold clamps on it though.
As for stem,this has been the hardest part to pick. I'm probably going to end up with a Sworks stem. I may get a Syntace stem though.
I have to wait until the new year to order th rest of my parts from Specialized and hopefully when I do Toupe carbons will be in stock as that is the saddle I would like.
The only other thing I'm missing is the Lizard Skins bar tape I will be using.
I really didn't think that a yellow frame would look good but...WOW. That is going to be a sick build. It'll look exactly like my CAAD 9 but red/black.
Cannot wait to see the full build.

I'd like to say no to see your reaction....
But yes I do know what I am doing. The wavy washer is driveside as required on this particular crankset
What I thought was going to be a quick build in January has dragged on a little longer than I had hoped...
Arione is temp until Toupe Carbon comes in and have finally picked new pedals in Keo Blades.
After all the waiting, I'm pretty pleased with how the build turned out....
13.1 lbs/5.94 kg
