^I don't object to the saddle so much as all the letters, esp. the rim decals.

Way too busy. Wheel stickers are too much for the color combo, way too much advertising.

I just looked at the last few pages and every bike looked like crap to me.
You boys all look like you are riding bikes 2 sizes too small, and then get the extra long seatpost and stem.
No wonder y'all need to wear diapers to ride those frames... they are baby frames.
Very unappealing to my eyes.

My Specialized Allez with DA 9000 and some other goodies. Bought this stock because I wanted to try an aluminum rod bike and I love it so far.

Thought I would get a picture for this thread since I have posted somewhere else before. I also made some changes to the bike. I still feel like I want to get some black holders for it to complete the transformation from white to black. but thought I would snap a quick picture for you guys to see what some think. Also sorry about the environment I thought outside would be better then an indoor shot, I can re take it come spring.

Love the frame.. what brand of wheels are those anyway? 
Just a side question/opinion poll.. why do manufacturers feel need to put more than 1 brand logo on the side of a frame/wheel.. Is it passed off as artistic balance?

Also, rule #57 , decals are pro. Whether they're hot or not is another question altogether tho.

Just finished building this and too tired to wait for good light and good pose. I know it is not a road bike - but it is UCI legal for TTs.

Next you'll show us your car?
I couldn't enter it in any field, but I did pace and Marshall several USAC races with it:

Well one does in fact meet the definition (USAC, UCI) of a road bike.

I'm not sure where to ask this. I ride a small frame and can only fit one bottle cage, even when using side pull. Is it acceptable to have a rear saddle mounted cage on a road bike?

I agree.
I'm also interested to see your frame. It would have to be pretty poorly designed to have bottle cage mounts that obviously don't work. Shimano has a Di2 battery bracket that can be used to shift a bottle cage. Have you tried that?
