Just got around to installing a more matching saddle and tape.....I like it 
I gave up on the white Hudz as I just could not get them clean enough to my liking.

Sweet Teschner. Please remove the pump and stick it in a jersey pocket.

How much does just a basic paint job usually cost?

Don't carry a pump that big in a jersey pocket on my group ride, please.
And CO2... I think we've
EDIT: By the way, that bike is hot sex. You don't need a more aggressive stem or anything else. These people (myself included) just say "flip it" because they can't have your dope bike.

I don't mind letting you posters on this thread know that I don't appreciate the plethora of white hot bikes recently featured herein. I've got ten, count 'em, ten bikes. Each one of them is suffering from deep depression induced by an insidious inferiority complex. Do you have any idea what my monthly bills add up to for psychological counseling for my stable of rigs? Financially, you are destroying me. Before today's long ride, I had to skip over 3 bikes before I found one confident enough to face the light of day. Stop the madness! I beseech you.

This is my anti-CAAD9 bike =) Hot or not?

Finished this build for a good friend about a month ago, and turned the keys over to him 2 weeks ago after shaking it down for ~150 miles.
