Sadly the quit making the aluminum S series. I'm thinking of picking one up myself as well, but they are getting harder to find.

Is it the camera angle or is your seat really that high?

5.5" is the drop. The top of the bars are at 35", and the seat is at 40.5"

I just realized I don't have a pic of my bikes current build in here...
EDIT: Oh wait, that's not even a current pic... now I have different stem, narrower bars with a shallow drop, and more beer related stickers.

My gift from Santa finally arrived!
A Raleigh Revenio 3.0 with 105 all around. Its name is Tron. Haven't put too many miles on it yet, but so far it's pretty sweet. A big step up from my 1998 Specialized Hardrock Classic MTB with slicks!

While we're talking about soloists, here's mine! Awesome bike that I managed to snag used, and I'm still trying to gradually swap out some of the components (crank, bars, headset, fork) that the original owner failed to take care of (who the f**k leaves a bike like this out in the rain so much that the screws start to rust???)
I'm well aware of the aesthetic flaws in this picture, but I hope that we can all look past the exterior flaws and appreciate the peerless character of the bike as I do.

My response: Awesome color scheme on that soloist, and it's nice to see somebody who clearly had to USE their bike for the picture to be taken.

My new bike for 2011, a BMC RaceMaster SLX01 2009 with DuraAce group and FSA crank, Mavic Aksium Race Wheels. I managed to get this frameset used from a friend and it is in great condition.
I need some nice racing wheels now. Any suggestions under $ 800?
