beautiful bike, man. I love it. You might want to fix your saddle bag, though. It shouldn't be sagging like that. Should be securely fastened around the rails of the saddle and then tied underneath the bag. Look at other ones for example. Also, are you using the tri aero bars? If you are new to cycling, you probably don't need those yet so they are just extra weight. Really only need them for triathlons or time trials.

This is my current bike, A 2009 Felt Z35. Carbon frame, forks and seatpost. Shimano 105 10sp gruppo and Mavic CXP22 rims on Felt hubs (the pedals and reflectors have now gone - these pics were taken at 2 days old :-)). I love it.
I am also rebuilding my old Peugeot for winter use (2009 Campagnolo Veloce 10sp gruppo and Khamsin wheels).

Nothing; just not fond of the frame design on the Defy/avails. It's nothing directed at Giant, I own a defy advanced 3 after all.

Made some changes over the summer. New saddle, swapped out the ultegra brakes for RED, new wheels, Yokozuna cables, new stem (flipped it and snipped it) and bars. Thinks it's finally there, I may go back to a Fizik seat, not sure yet.

Picked this up over the weekend, got a great price on it since its old stock. 2008 Specialized Roubiax Elite, hasn't be ridden except test rides, etc. Full carbon, 105 Group, rides nice and smooth.
And a little project that I am working on, a mid 70's Murray 10 speed with Shimano Eagle parts. Using it to commute on but will probably become a single speed conversion in the future.
