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

Hot, but it's a shame you didn't go for the silver Veloce group.

Yes, either more silver or more black as in stem, post, bars, etc. I am also mixed on those Crankbrothers peddles.

Actually do black stem, black seat post, and black bar tape and I think you'd be well on your way to hot. I'm also not crazy about the shape of the bars for some reason.

Winter mode, took off my zipps is about the extent. Once i have a little more cash, I plan on building up a "classics wheel;" 36 or 32 hole aluminum tubular with a pave cx. (excuse the poor quality of the beer choice, had a party the other day)

I don't usually bother to clean the hoods as they get dirty super easily. Saddle is a Tune Speedneedle alcantara (82g when I weighed it). Weight as you see it is just under 14lbs. Weight with Zipp 606 firecrest tubulars is about 13.5 lbs. Rode it in the rain today, just wanted to snap a pic after cleaning it up (a bit).

You mentioned you are saving cash for a set of wheels. There are better ways of doing that than subjecting yourself to Keystone Light.

Also, I love it that your winter hoops are Easton EA90's.

Great bike.

Get rid of the bag and waterbottle. Level the bars.

Black tape.

Then you have a very hot bike.
