Sure, my bikes will probably get savaged. But I kinda like the way the picture turned out.

But at least one person needs to point out that the S1 needs new bar tape

Very nice upgrade. Now take a picture from the correct side without all the extra garbage on there.
Sweet new ride. Looks beautiful. I'm sure it rides as nice as it looks.
Great picture, whether the bikes are Hot or not.

i opted for the silver..thats what the difference is. I didn't like the colored accents on the white/silver frame....and figured I'd put the 1000 bucks I saved towards the zipps. weight with pedals and cages is 15.3
i read where you said it was rigid (the gold) I felt the same when I test rode it and the silver has a real nice smooth ride. I got the 55cm which rides like a 56...thought about going 53cm...may do it on my next orca.

Uncheck the box in the picture upload button when you copy and paste the URL into it, then it will link it directly to the image instead of inserting it in as a thumbnail.
