Tonight, I got my bike fitted with my new Ultegra 6700 (Hollowtech II), double setup. It only took one extra trip to the bike shop, when I realized that I had previously ordered the wrong size derailleur clamp. So I'll be running a 53x39 up front, and 12-25 in the back. We'll see how well my legs hold up on the hills of West Virginia in the Spring!
Also, last night I attempted to glue my first tubular tire. This did not go well. I ended up taking the tire off the rim, and starting over. I'm working on stripping all the glue off the rim (including the old glue from the original owner), so that I can have a smooth surface for gluing next time. Why can't anything be easy??
