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

Nice...but entirely too much overt branding on the frame. Every single tube? C'mon...

I'd probably go white stem and saddle, too, de-emphasizing the bulk of the headtube, but then, it ain't my bike, so I'll STFU and just hope you enjoy it!

Pretty nice build. Is that an aero road frame? If that's the case you need some 50mm carbon clinchers on there!

Definitely some shape to the head and down tube, but wouldn't call it full aero. I'll be saving my pennies for those 50mm's. Although staying married would be even nicer!

Looks sharp. Bet it rides smooth as all get out.

Visually, I'd go GREY bar tape, though yellow is a bold choice.

Thanks, and I hear you. Went yellow to help keep myself out of trouble with all the cell phone users, ahem, drivers around here!

Looks great, the yellow isn't that bad but it's probably not going to help with the cagers on their phones.

yeah, a neon orange blinking vest would probably be more effective.

But then, if you wear a bright yellow kit to match the bars (as well you should!) then you might be on to something...
