Beautiful.

What headset cap are you using with your fork? I didn't get along well with the Easton plug that came with mine and got a profile gap cap. I can't keep it tight. I would hate for my fork to fall off, so any recs would be great.

I'm using the Easton plug without any issues.

What group is that? I only know Shimano looks. :(
Amost full Campy Record build minus the Chorus front derailleur and the FSA crankset and American Classic BB.

I'll try the Easton plug again. Is it the aluminum one with the little compression setup? Do you happen to know the torque specs?

I'd like to try Campy one day.

a little over 15 lbs? too danged heavy. jeez. next time skip the durable heavy parts and go with a little Ti, plastic, and carbon fiber, will ya?

I can't imagine what it would feel like to ride a 15 lbs road bike. rocket, perhaps?

nice rig.

Keep your stem tight and you'll be just fine...
