Yeah, I'm sure thats what it looks like unless it gets a close look. The hoods were that way when i got it, they actually feel fine though.

Frame fork, seatpost $250.00
Wheels had on hand
Ultegra group $310.00 (purchased piece by piece)
Stem $20.00
Bars Had on hand
saddle $50.00
bar tape $12.00

You have to pick a color for the bar tape. Either black or white but not both. It reallly takes away from a great looking bike.
Also check out this link and pick up some killer carbon matching cages for next to nothing.

I got this link from someone on another site and he says they are very good. What do you have to lose, it is $28.00 for two carbon cages. If I did not already have 12 carbon cages, I would be all over these.

It says location Asia, United States.
Is there somewhere in the US called Asia?
Hmmm, very skeptical. Postage prices are all over the place too!

Yeah, its a 58cm, which is a bit on the small side. The long stem is on purpose so I don't have to bend over too much.

I'm the fifth head from the left, in the yellow w/blue polka-dots and silver helmet in the foreground. I don't actually have any good pics of the bike by itself.

My windsor...it's been fine for a starter bike. It's a pig, but not as much of a pig as I originally estimated. 20.8 lbs with pump, pedals, and bottle cages. Still can't wait to upgrade.
