I suck at the picture taking. I took a bunch and they were really blurry. These are the two best of the batch.
Specs for those that care...
Frame - KHS Flite 2000 - carbon wishbone seat stays / aluminum frame 58 cm
Wheels - Mavic Cosmos
Grouppo - Ultegra STI shifters, bottom bracket and cassette. Everything else is 105
Pedals - Shimano M515
Saddle - temporarily the stock saddle from a Trek 1000. Still saddle shopping.
Seatpost and stem are Thompson Elite
Handlebars are some aluminum cheap ones. Still bar shopping too.
Fork - Reynolds Ouzo Comp Fork - Carbon blades, aluminum steerer
Headset - Chris King NoThreadset

Sorry, dude. You're going to have to clean it again. I just got drool all ovah it.
Man, the location of the CatEye backlight is GENIUS! I've gone without a bag because I didn't want to sacrifice the space. I've got the same light and I'll have to mimic you for my roadbike setup.

The frame, fork, headset, seat post and stem was $320 of eBay, the wheels were $300 and the rest was picked up here and there from Performance Bike, Nashbar and eBay (cranks and bottom bracket).

No, I stripped one to make this one. I'm just a few parts shy of having a complete bike in pieces though.

Wow! 
That's all I'd like to say and add.
I saw all those parts and cannot even fathom doing something like that. My daughter's bicycle has sat here in the garage for a year with a flat tire that needs to be changed. Do you think I know how to do that? NO! So...wow!
