My current bike. Not the stiffest frame around but it is comfy![]()
She's a beauty Herzeleid! The geometry looks similar to my Roubaix(longer wheelbase, taller headtube), which is why I chose it also. I never dreamed that 'comfortable' and 'road bike' could be used in the same sentence

2006 Trek 1500 frame and fork. The rest is from a 2008 Motobecane Le Champion I bought from BD, stripped, put the parts and Neuvations on the Trek frame/fork and sold the Moto frame with stock 1500 parts for some dough, also sold the Ritchey Le Champ wheels. Been wanting to put a pic of my bike up for a while. I'm a 2-3 times per week kinda rider, 25-45 miles per ride. Have been real happy with this bike. Anyway, specs:
Frame/fork: 2006 Trek 1500 58cm
Group: Ultegra 10 speed
Cranks: FSA carbon something
Wheels: Neuvation M28 Aeros
Tires: Conti 4000s
Saddle: Felt Carbon (no carbon involved, just by name)
Components: Ritchey WCS
Pedals: Shimano low-end SPD-R

I could be wrong here, I'm not an expert.... but I am almost positive your chain is a bit long. I'm surprised you don't have shifting problems...
That being said, I love this bike... I also bought a BD bike, swapped all the parts off with my Bianchi and then unloaded the BD bike with older components.
It just arrived today. 2010 Specialized Allez Sport built up with Tiagra/Ultegra.
