I've been asked by a client of mine to build a road bike for them.
The guys a fairly decent cyclist.Ready to move up from a tired
02 Trek.
I told him I could build him a poor mans Ghisallo since he likes hills.
This is what I'm thinking:

Litespeed Teramo(compact design ala Ghisallo)1.2lbs heavier.
Ultegra 10 w/ FSA Compact Cranks 50/34
IRD Front Derailleur
Zipp 303 wheelset
Fizik Arione saddle
Speedplay Zero Ti
Vision Tech Shorty clip ons(he's interested in doing a Tri)


This build would suit his budget.
I suggested Ti as he wants a bike that will outlast him.

Any other suggestions?
