Racing build (bike porn)
These pics were taken pre-stickers, so it's a little prettier... stickers always make it less clean...

Love the look of those DA rings on that crank. Why not just stick with the DA crank though? Not enough carbon for you.

I used to have one of those. I crashed it a few weeks ago and destroyed it. It was a sweet ride.

Gorgeous. All business, but still aesthetically pleasing. Very nice.

Uuugh - I had those hubs. Because of the low spoke count and the notches on the hub between the spokes, I kept pulling spokes through the hub flange on the drive side (well, twice anyway). Too bad because I loved the wheels otherwise.
