sure has been a while...
Upgrades include dura-ace di2 (7970 because 11 speed junior cassettes are pretty uncommon), planet-x cnc brakes (after reading bianchi's review why the hell wouldn't you buy them...), white and black arione r3, hed 10* stem. I'll probably be stuck with the ultegra crank for a while, since i've got a stages on the other side.

If it was 2002, y'all would be losing your minds.

Not the most glamorus photo, but here's mine! Before you knock it as "Not" note it has tubeless tires and wheel sets and I've upgraded the saddle and pedals from stock. Let me know what you think!

Not sure the WTB saddle 'adds' much.

Typically there are three criteria that makes a bike "hot".
1. Nice set of wheels...something deep or lightweight shallow ones.
2. Saddle to bar drop
3. Slammed stem...with a minimal bearing cap
If your bike has all three of those criteria...most of the time it will get a hot.
The blue Evo is a shining example of what is universally hot.
Lol...it was in the other H or N thread.

It's a nice bike, but not hot.

I'm sure its an awesome bike and fits you to a T...but this is a thread based purely on the looks of a bike.
Typically there are three criteria that makes a bike "hot".
1. Nice set of wheels...something deep or lightweight shallow ones.
2. Saddle to bar drop
3. Slammed stem...with a minimal bearing cap
If your bike has all three of those criteria...most of the time it will get a hot.

I like the general look of that Soma but as set up it looks like it's a size too small and the fit looks pretty awkward.
