For those of who ever rode with me in my forum hay-day (2011 mainly) you will know I rode a dark green lee cooper with pursuit bars (see attached). I moved to NYC and spent 4 years bashing it around that city instead. The very night before I was due to ship it with the rest of my stuff back to the UK (where I now live again) it was stolen from my locked garage. Now I am fixed-less. The silver lining here is insurance money and therefore a new project.
I have ridden steel for a long time and feel it is time for a change. So here is what I am thinking... may the critique begin.
F+F: Look AL 464
Wheels: Silver Low Flange Phil Wood laced to DT Swiss 511 (DB version on rear)
Crank: Dura Ace
Stem: Zipp Sprint
Bar: Profile Pro Svet V (w/ interchangeable track bar)
Seat Post: Fizik Carbon Jobby (RL 0 or something)
Saddle: Fizik Arione
Front Brake: Dura Ace
Lever: TRP RL970
Pedals: Look
The rest is dull or generic/don't care about opinions
Key Questions:
Will silver hubs and cranks look stupid with black stem and seatpost?
Are massive over-size sprint stems for wankers?
Finished build. Diverted away from the Look as I couldn't get one until April. That seemed like a big deal in January.
TT/Road set-up here. Will have track bar for riding in circles.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
