What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I usually don't like a ton a gigantic logos but your Specialized is pure heat dude. Nice job and that curved line from the top tube down thru the head tube into the fork is a great design detail.

Great build that looks fast.

This is like the 4th time I've posted a pic of this bike but I think this may be the final version Ultegra SL with DA 7800 shifters.

And i start with this bike





Lol, here is my bike 10 Months later...

Looks good. If it had the Red group, I would of thought it was a Madone.

Anyways, heres mine. Waiting for my Rival group to come in.

Could someone help me find the photo of that Parlee that was posted on here a while back. I have been searching for over an hour and can't find the post. It wasn't painted, just natural Ti with wheels of the same color. Thanks!

For some reason I thought it was Ti, now I realized that Parlee only make carbon bikes. It looks like brushed Ti I guess. I have researched so many bikes lately I can't keep them all straight. Either way, it is gorgeous.
