after further review, the other pictures of EPQ framesets do not have the spade on the frame. Nor do they say "B STAY" on the seatstay. The chain and seat stays do not look right, and I can say without a doubt that bike is a conterfeit frame, with a cheap ass homebuild.

When I said switch the bar tape and hood color I ment:
black tape and white hoods

Hello guys,
I am new to this thread and I don't know if I supposed to start a new one but I need some advise from you.
I am currently riding Fuji SST3 with mixed components between 105 and ultegra, btw this is my first carbon road bike.
I saw in our LBS they have sale on Cervelo S2 $3000 which is full shimano ultegra, color white-red.
My question is,
Is it worth to upgrade from my Fuji SST3 ?
Is it much better bike and mainly the frame?
All suggestion are welcome even with different brand, thanks a lot

Thanks for the comments on the IF guys. It is my first "new" bike in about 20 years, and I am really really enjoying it

My two new babies: still need to adjust the saddle position on the tarmac and there's lots of work to be done on the 3rensho. I'm excited!

Thanks! and nope I got the bike used about 2 months ago off CL, stripped it down to the frameset and just finished building it up this week. It's never been to Haus though.

I'm tempted to switch out that s-works bar tape with the Fizik red gloss this weekend. Unlike the Fizik microtex tape, dirt and grime doesn't clean off the s-works tape and I can't have that.
Thank you. So, how's that Stevens SLR... oh wait, I meant the Specialized Venge
nateintokyo- I'm not a big fan of classic looking builds, but that IndyFab bike of yours is one great looking ride. Beautifully done.

I hear the Ronald thing......and I like it--there are too many boring black/white/red road bikes.But in my defense on the tires, the first set I mounted were black. On the first ride out, well, see the pic. Ugh. At least bikesnobnyc posted it up. This is my first modern road bike, so I am still on a set of mtb pedals while I figure out what I want to use--just haven't yet had the, uh, Time to Look. The yellow tape and Eriksen post stay though
---milliron---clicked through to your blog--the Santa Barbara riding looks great. I'm moving there at the beginning of Sept after far too long on the East Coast.

I'm strangely OK with everything else.

Did some changes:
Here you go fellas. I am digging this new look. Hope you all like it. I always wanted to remove the logo from my Lightning crankset since I purchased it. It just looked cheesy imo. Now I kinda miss it, but I think it is a better look. I also ditched 15g of Zipp stickers, and put Sram Force rings on for a 9g loss. I hear the Sram rings are available in black. I want to pick up a set of those, and then it will be perfect I think. Doesn't look bad with these however, I don't think.
Race Spec on Zipp 404s
Training spec with Spinergy Stealth FCC
The logo on the crank was under the clear coat. So I had to sand it off, and then re clear it. I used a satin clear. I really like the look of it.

went from a 100mm stem to an 80mm stem. MUCH better. i can finally ride on my hoods without having to reach like crazy. much more comfy and no more numbness i my hands.
