The R3 Cables and Crank Go On...with Pictures!

The R3 receives it's cables (temporarily), and a new crank is installed, as we get closer and closer to finishing the build.  Temporarily because new shift levers and brakes will require re cabling once they are purchased.  Between now and then, I want to be able to ride the bike a few times, so we are building it up with some parts from the tommaso. 
I was able to convince Nick that the Dura Ace 7900 that he bought did not match his new build, so I was able to installed said crank on the R3.  The crank is 170 mm, which is 5mm shorter than the Ultegra SL that it replaced.  This supposedly will enable me both the increase the ease at which I can maintain a higher cadence, and reduce hip fatigue.  I got it because of my lack of flexibility, coupled with my need to climb hills better, anything improvement would be welcomed.
Some cool accents were added to the overall look of the bike.  The red ferrules and donuts really did the trick, and matched the red nipples on the dura ace wheels sweetly.  Also the red pedals helps to tie the whole thing together.  The front brake really snaps, while the rear lags a bit still.  Compared to the Tommaso, they are light years ahead of the game.  Sondre did a great job aligning the cables in the front to run parallel to one another, really making the cables look clean upon entering the cable guides in the down tube.
I am really very pleased with the way the build is turning out.  Well put together, and just the right amount of bling!
