Here's my two, the Gunnar is about a year old now and has a mix of DA 7800 and Ultegra 6600, Thomson and 3T finishing kit with headset and BB courtesy of Chris King, and after years of searching ive finally found 'my' saddle, Selle Italia's Flite TI is the business! The Specialized is new to me Last month and takes the place of my new s/s training bike, easy to maintain and ive got no worries thrashing it around the English country lanes in the depths of winter! Its not got many standard parts left on it, luckily someone else took the hit upgrading everything then came along and bought it for a song! There are some fantastic bikes on here Teevoe's Fuji on page 834 being an awesome example, and he has a fine taste in saddle!
I really like those bikes. The specialized SS especially.

My 2012 Fuji Altamira 2.0...
I bought a trainer yesterday and was messing around in the house with my bike, thought it'd be cool to get a picture of it in front of my other hobby but it didn't com out all that well. Need to get a proper photo outside.

The fish were trying to attack it when I first leaned it against the tank.

Nice looking bike but great looking monster tank. I believe I see rays, pbass, and a few other beauties in there. What size aquarium?

It is a 450g with pbass, 2 motoro rays (breeding pair), an indo dat, a tiger shovel nose catfish and a lima shovel nose catfish.
I also have a 210g growout which is home to 4 chocolate cichlids, 8 geo cichlids (2 different varieties) and a baby motoro ray.
I have a 120g which is home to a couple bichirs and a sun catfish - tank is pretty empty.
And last but not least, I have a 1500g pond in the backyard with 12 koi and 10 turtles of various varieties.
My partner and I work in the pet industry so we have a bit of a zoo at our house.

I have a love hate relationship with that tank...before I had my current job, I worked mostly from home, made my own hours and could care for the tank. Now it gets neglected - I actually just lost my 3 biggest pbass when I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago. One of my pumps went out, causing less ripples, causing less oxygen and the person feeding the fish didn't realize this and didn't know what to do. I'm now actually investigating having someone care for the tank, do water changes, etc on a weekly basis - I love the tank and it cost a fair amount of money so I hate to give it up.

I'm very jealous, I have a 300 gallon but I lost most of my prized cichlids from Rapps and the Fish Farm last Summer when we had a 10 day power outage and this winter when I had a few days without power. I have a 210 with a single male dovii, it was a pair but lost the female a couple of weeks ago when the male went psycho. Also have a 55 for the Oscar.
I got my rays from Rapps, he's a great guy, always lets me know when he's getting in good fish. I almost bought some rare rays from him, but I couldn't bring myself to drop $3k on fish.
I have two empty 55's out in the garage for quarantine tanks as well. When I get into a hobby, I tend to immerse myself in it and blow every extra dollar I have on it...hence the brand new Fuji a month after I bought a fixed gear....after not riding since high school.

Thanks Ross and Mike F!
I would have preferred something stealthy/black on black for the wheelset but i got a pretty sweet deal on the C50's. that they matched the foil 20's colors is pure (but fortunate) coincidence.
