Chris,
Here are some pictures of the bike built up. I will try to take some with my digital camera and E-Mail them to you. The bike rides great. It does not ride stiff like an aluminum bike but more like my Merlin. I find myself favoring riding the Scandium bike over the Merlin. The Merlin is now my beater bike. The Huber geometry feels better and more responsive. As you can see from the photos (taken last week in my front yard) the snow was higher than the bike. Up until a few days ago I have been riding my mountain bike on the road for training. Yesterday I took the featherlight for a spin and it was great to be on road bike again. Hope all is well with you and [your] bike creations.
