| Hi 
              Jim,  My 
              anniversary gift.The frame was purchased on E-Bay.  The 
              Challenge tires were awesome for the first 2 miles, then I got a 
              flat and walked home rather than trying to repair on the side of 
              a busy NYC street.  On 
              my way home, I took a few pictures. It's tough to get decent pictures 
              with all the shiny parts on this bike...will take better ones if 
              we get an overcast day.  ******** 
              Components:
 All Dura Ace 25th Anniversary except:
 Velo Orange stem and adapter
 Velo Orange rims
 Ideale swallow saddle (it looks like a banana seat, but it is surprisingly 
              comfortable)
 Shimano 600 pedals
 NItto Noodle handlebars
 The 
              Velo Orange parts (rim and stem) are beautiful and quite light. 
              Highly recommended.
