@atanz: i see these nice frames in your possession and non of them seems a real stunning build. but for the one posted on the last page, with the red bars, i'm sooo not feeling it.
the front end needs sorting out. get a silver stem to go with the cranks and seatpost, black bartape is a must and to keep it a bit kinky, i might suggest a powdercoated green set of drops.
tape them up to about 2/3rds and it'll look just right so they pick up the green where the zipp logo started without taking it over the top.
to make it a real favourite (of mine, anyway) it should be a modern threadless front end and pref straight forks but the forks now, look quite ok, too.
as i can see from the other bikes you own, it appears you have the parts already, bar the stem. go on and make that one a stunner, the frame and omfg the set of zipps deserve a bit consideration at least.
man, how i'd love to get my dirty mittens on one of those.
there, i said it!
