Okie is not really new now, is a few months old, I got done building this bike, last november right before I lost my job. This was my main relaxation/stress reliefe while I was unemployed, so was money well spent! I just borrowed my brothers digital camera, so decided I would show off my bike :)

Setup up is a BPstealth BP-4 carbon frame, carbon fork and seatpost. With full campy record, except the crankset wich is FSA team Issue carbon cranks, with a FSA Ultimax TI BB. Wheels are Speeddream.

Huray! Finally somebody posts a "new bike" picture of a road machine. It seems like everyone on this forum is in to Mtn Bikes.

You might want to reconsider your seat angle!

If I’m not mistaken, that is Selle Italia Slr, that seat should be in a horizontal position and NOT pointing down like in your case.

But, NICE BIKE DUDE!

nice bike..

but the drop from your saddle to the handlebars looks pretty extreme

The drop to the bars looks fine. I think the angle of the Aspide is a bit off, how do you keep from sliding forward? :)

REALLY!!?? When I first came on here, I was just an innocent MTBer, and I thought that almost everyone here was a roadie! That's what sucked me in in the first place!

Nice Bike, but I would agree with Kenneth, the hoods looks like it needed to be up a little...

Yeah the saddle, is off I fixed it right after that picture.. It's not to severe a drop.. I was moving my other roadbike around this afternoon, and the handlebars feel so narrow now. I have the Cinelli Ram bar/stem on this bike which has are flat and wider on top. Actualy the saddle is a Selle San Marco Aspide, I love it!! Most comfortable saddle I have found and only 160Grams :) Full bike weighs in at 15.5 pounds, according to my digital bathroom scale :)

How you like that bar so far? I'm still not sure about the flat top it's rockin'.
