Around 130 miles later...

So I've gotten two good long rides on the new bike.  I'm not even going to pretend like I'm qualified to give a review about the nuances of performance, but here's what I can say with confidence.

• It's light.  I don't know exactly, but I'm guessing I've got 16lb-ish build here.  I feel, and probably am, faster on this bike.
• The front end is noticeably lighter, and I suspect it's because I've never had a full carbon fork. Not a bad thing, however.  
• The bike has a very solid feel.  No rattles or creaks or the incidental sounds here and there that I've grown accustomed to from my CAAD9 and cross bike.  
• The SRAM Force group performs like gangbusters.  Significant improvement over SRAM Rival. 

I'm very pleased with this project.  I wouldn't even hesitate to order another frame/fork from this ebay merchant.  http://shop.ebay.com/e_baygoods/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
