Looks mint with the gum walls! Been thinking about a similar frame for a whole now, what niggles did it have?
Ptown-
Thanks! The niggles were more with the build than the frame to be honest - gear indexing and a very honky front brake just meant I never took it out.
What the bike shops who have worked on it have said is that the internal cable routing is a big pain in the arse (more so than normal but I didn't really pay attention to how) and they were a little concerned by the front mech plate and how it would hold up with the recommended torque.

I bought this frame last year and got it built up, but there were always little niggly things that stopped it being properly rideable or enjoyable. Finally got it sorted in the last couple of weeks and took it out for a decent length ride today. New wheels and longer stem are great additions, and the Zipp SL-80 bars must be the best handlebars in the world.
