Same for @

edit: ....just for clarity, i love mine more - but i love to look at the the perfection/precision of yours.
And totally agree on gearing = for me it's 'old man gearing'. 46/30 or 48/34 or triples abound, with 28 out back.
And Squid's are so creative.
Thanks for the compliment.
Why do I choose a particular bike? Well, I require the latest and highest technology. My bikes must be extremely light weight. If it costs me $732.27 to save 8 grams, I'm all over that. Cost be damned. Aero dynamics and powerful brakes are also critical because I am usually crushing extreme speeds. Comfort does not matter. Speed, speed, more speed, and huge flashy graphics and logos are my cup of tea.
