2006 Trek 1500 frame and fork. The rest is from a 2008 Motobecane Le Champion I bought from BD, stripped, put the parts and Neuvations on the Trek frame/fork and sold the Moto frame with stock 1500 parts for some dough, also sold the Ritchey Le Champ wheels. Been wanting to put a pic of my bike up for a while. I'm a 2-3 times per week kinda rider, 25-45 miles per ride. Have been real happy with this bike. Anyway, specs:
Frame/fork: 2006 Trek 1500 58cm
Group: Ultegra 10 speed
Cranks: FSA carbon something
Wheels: Neuvation M28 Aeros
Tires: Conti 4000s
Saddle: Felt Carbon (no carbon involved, just by name)
Components: Ritchey WCS
Pedals: Shimano low-end SPD-R

That being said, I love this bike... I also bought a BD bike, swapped all the parts off with my Bianchi and then unloaded the BD bike with older components.

The comfort is alright for long distance riding, I did a complete brevet series (200, 300, 400, 600, 1000 km) on it last year. Manouvering is a bit sluggish, I've had more agile bikes.
How is the stiffness on the Roubaix frame? I've been thinking of buying a new bike and it looks absolutely stunning.

Farkin' beautiful.
Do you like to roll down cielo a little bit and descend San Marcos or go straight back down? Gibraltar is a little bit sketchy at the top...

As I rode it today, pardon the iPhone picture. Trying to get the stem height figured out and riding on the trainer and short outdoor rides doesn't really facilitate that.

Down periscope here finally.
Might not be the lightest bike here but I sure can haul on it. Upgrading my engine before I upgrade my wheels.
