if it's the same bike, i think the second incarnation is much, much nicer. not digging the pink phils, and i even have a goal of building up a pink fix (track, conversion, i don't care. not a suicycle and pink, that's all i care about...but eventually a pink track). they just don't look right on that bike.
as far as other threads with real bike pr0n...the italian track thread has some jaw-droppers in it.
