Here she is. Click the pics for bigger versions.

Some details:

• Tubing is oversize 853 Pro Team with the usual combo of 725 rear end and 631 forks.
  
• Headtube arrangement is a bilaminate construction where the TT and DT are fillet brazed to an oversize headtube "sleeve" which is then cut away to form the "lugs" into which the actual headtube is brazed (some pics of the process on Ricky's Flickr).
  
• Paint is a mk1 Audi TT colour called Nimbus Grey. It looks non-metallic but it's a very fine pearl.
  
  

More pics and details on Ricky's blog. I'll be building it up over the next few weeks (still need to source a couple of bits - primarily the crankset).

Basically, it's beautiful and I'm stoked. :D
