It's a 61cm frame and weighs 1650g. The ride is very similar to my '72 Paramount (531) and my '87 Paramount (SL/SP), except that it accelerates faster and climbs better. I'm still on my honeymoon with it.

Yes, and my legs are exactly like Ullrich's, but they generate 1/3 as much power. Enjoy!

My first time painting with a brush (the [almost straight] black lines), and one of my first airbrushing projects in a year or so. I added too much reducer to the paint I was using (AutoColor Metallic Gold, 4300 series). I followed the directions and mixed with a 3:1 ratio, and when I sprayed I realized that I shouldn't have reduced at all. Also the clear I used caused the gold to flake and sag a little like gold flake. Looks kind of cool, but it could be better.
Just a little taste.

it has reynolds DV46T. i had zipps on my previous bike but I never felt secure with them. I felt like I was going to break fine china or something. With the reynolds I did alot of research and now I feel like I can ride carbon anywhere any day without the feeling it is going to give underneath me. I am a heavy rider right now (holidays - 170 lbs) and the reynolds feel amzing and super stiff. and with no labels they look super stealth.
here's a pic of my old bike.

My dearest wife encouraged me to upgrade my Trek 5200 to this (didn't take too much encouragement!):
Full Ultegra SL, the colour looks great on the frame to me:
Will be changing the white bar tape (no black in stock today) and cutting the steerer tube eventually.
Looking forward to riding and get it all dirty!
