yeah you said it. now i'm considering getting a blue SLR saddle and blue bartape and blue bottles for my Soloist to kind of get that type of look...not sure about it though, was also considering a similar thing in red....

usually one of the first things i check out on a road bike is the saddle...not sure why though.

Just finished building this:
Mix of 105/ultegra/dura ace - whatever I could find on sale - spent the real money on the frame...
Yep - note the commuter pedals.
Also, got the first 'crap i set the toe cage too tight' scratches on the rear derailler... I was hoping this one would avoid the welcome to the family marks for a while, but oh well.

Here is a picture of the Prodigy frame (very)temporarily perched on the wheels from the Soloist, just to give a taste of things to come...
I absolutely can't wait to have it all built up.
It will be veloce 10sp with an FSA gossamer crankset(off of the soloist...the soloist will be upgraded) and as-yet-to-be-decided wheels.
hope you guys like (and even if you don't, oh well, I do
)

^ Mavic Cosmos wheels
^^ Yeah, I wasn't ever really a fan of the all-celeste frames, but adding lots of black to it makes it look pretty good imo
^^^^ I'm definitely not a professional when it comes to building bikes - this being the first real road bike project, I just kinda set them to an angle that looked comfortable, then adjusted a bit after the first ride. Further adjustments might come later, after longer rides, but it's been really smooth and comfortable so far.

I don't know how to post a picture on a forum. 1-800-AM-I-CLULESS? If you can tell me how easy it is I will post a photo of my 2004 blue and white Specialized Allez Comp full Ultegra. It's a steel bike which came with a double but I swapped it out for a compact.

I want a Scandium Bianchi. Second the odd bar angle though, plus the odd seat angle. Are you balanced on the bike?
