Love it, Ringle stem looks fantastic. One thing, and I'm sure you know this - these frames suffer from the high seat post clamp section cracking and ultimately having to be cut off and a collar used (if possible). "They" say that the way to avoid this is to ensure that you have a decent length of post below the top tube as it were, so the upper section is not resisting the riders weight/the degree to which it is doing so is minimised.
Thank a lot - I wasn't aware of this. Pretty sure the Controltech one has a decent length in the frame, but I am going to double check now. Would be heartbroken if I damaged this frame, it has made it through almost 30 years with barely a scratch!
