My wheel is done!

And it f-in' rules! I'm a loser who just happens to have a postal scale at home, and I found that the new wheel with cog and lockring saves me 350 grams over my old wheel with cassette. Add to that the fact that I removed the derailleurs and cables, I figure I took almost 2 pounds off my bike. Not that weight matters...(right Ted?).

Plus, this wheel is one stiff SOB:


Now, if I hadn't ordered the a chainring for the wrong BCD, I could ride my damn bike.

Props to Chris at Granite City Cycles for building me a hell of a wheel.
