Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
They do look small, though -- that Arione looks like an ironing board by comparison. 
crst4, what sizes are they, anyway?

wrong chain ring, wrong gear on the cassette, no aero bars, tires not oriented the same way, downtube shifter oriented funky, cranks oriented wrong, wheel decals in the different positions front and rear, cut the excess steerer tube and get rid of the tumor under the seat. for a guy that bashes every pic they put up on here, you totally did it wrong.

And your blue Trek.. front skewer. Clamp it on the other side.
Oh, and BMC's rule. Just FYI.

I never want to get on a bike when its in final gear. WTF?
Illegal to race with. (1400 ) I am not racing the 1.5 , i am training to kick some butt on the ms150. i want to see how fast i can do it. and i've got a long time to train.
There separate tires... I run a hard case front and a sticky on the rear.
There supposed to be that way.
that i will give you.
How the EFF Do you change that? And who the EFF Cares?
The steerer is as low as it goes. ( 1400 ) and i am not going to cut the 1.5 for another 1000 miles , and i bet you carry 2 tubes a tire patch kit and a set of tools and some co2 in your pocket.. Must have fun on a 50 mile ride...
So i dont think i did it so wrong.

2. aero bars are just ugly on road bikes.
4. they wouldn't be that way if you had the chain in the right spot
6.you change that by orienting the wheels in the same position front and rear, not rocket science.
8.I carry all my stuff in a small container in my second bottle cage. if for some rare reason I require a second bottle, I put the container in my jersey pocket and didn't even notice it on a 100 mile ride. you will notice that bag tearing through your shorts though. just saying
And "They're going there with their friends." learn the difference

1125gm frame, 345 fork, 1435 wheelset, C'dale SI bb30 crank, k-force compact bars, EA90 stem, 172gm seatpost, 200gm beebop pedals, Rival, KMC SL chain, 200gm slk seat, 0G brakes. Not a lot invested, but every part is lighter than average.

well the hollowgram crank helps, but i also have a caad9 with force/red instead of rival... and i have a tiny 48 frame, and full carbon clinchers that are ~1550 grams, and mine is about 17.3 pounds. are you sure your scale is accurate (not that it really matters)

I thought mostly everyone left the gearing smallest in front, smallest in back when they weren't riding so the cables had no tension, less stretching. Am I just wrong and OCD?

My Tarmac 54cm with the entire Ultegra 6700 gruppo incl pedals, minus cages/saddle bag/computer weighs about that much too (~17)

A lot of mfr's complete bikes have heavy forks, bars, wheels, seatposts etc. The group is only part of the equation. The biggest
difference between this build, weight wise, and say a 14lb+ Addict or SL3 Dura ace/ Red factory build is an extra 300gms of frame
weight. The components are probably pretty much equal. Weight wise. Also, my weights are actual. Mfr's?

Scale's accurate. The cadd7 optimo frame is probably lighter than a caad9. The Rival/SI BB30/0G combo is lighter than Red.

ahh didn't see that it was a caad7 (definitely lighter). i think the weight on the group for rival/si/0gravity combo overall might be close though, definitely not enough for the 2 pound difference. i'm running all alloy bits (mostly wcs) so that would explain some of that, although i definitely have a lighter saddle. it's not that i don't believe you, i'm just wondering where my random weight comes from.

I picked up the stand yesterday. Works fine, the bike kinda leans to one side but it doesn't seem like it'll topple over. The reviewer probably stuck a 45 pound bike in it lol.
