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

Were they nice enough to ship it to you with a spacer across the chain stays?

Looks great...do you already have a build thread, or is this it?

On one my threads, I said the only brand I would buy is a Specialized SL3, and when I saw this late edition color way. I had to buy it. I must say good bye to my Trek Madone...going to be a sad parting ways with my old beast. But this baby is a monster! It would be hard to find this Gustav Larsson's Saxo Bank-Sungard Color Way, but would be available with the 2012 SL4's.https://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/bc/...01&scname=Road

Will be building tonight, will post a pic when done.

+1 on black rings. Or better yet an S-Works crank.

Nice. I went from a 2011 5.5 Madone to the 2011 SL3 you see in the pic that was in the build process. I rode the Specialized cranks for a couple hundred miles and then I put the Red cranks on, very much a fan of the Red cranks. For me, they just feel stronger and better. That's me.

15.5? Puhleeese!! My half aluminum Cannondale came out to 15 even.

That can be an easy low 14lb build...low 13's with tubulars.

I love the Saxo colorway. I picked up the Saxo Prevail a few weeks back.
