Tarmac Elite.
My first post and my first road bike. Got this a couple of months back and have ridden it now for about 300kms. It's been wonderful and I still look forward to each ride.

My 2011 Giant Defy Advanced rolling with some Oval 745s. A very reliable ride that has taken me 2k+ miles already, and looking forward to the next few thousand!

The latest addition to the stable, a 2011 S3-Norwegian Red that I found NOS. I removed all the parts from the Noah Pro since that will get SR11-EPS and just transferred it onto the S3. Just waiting for the derailleur cables and I should have this on the road by early next week.

I haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I would share with y'all the picture I just received in my inbox from Spectrum Powderworks
I've been working on this project for a long time and it is finally near completion. I am blown away by the quality that Spectrum did, and their turnaround time was excellent (they are not the reason this project has taken so long).
Also, besides the patriotic aspect, there is another meaning behind the paint scheme. I'll be interested to see if anyone gets it. As a hint, what you can't see too well of the seat tube and the stays is that they are also red on the backside. I'll post more pics as the project progresses.
P.S. the yellow masking on the main tubes covers BTCs.

I know I lose style points for the CX70 crank and MTB pedals.

Tacking on to bielijbog's comment: Red-shift when you're riding away from people, and blue-shift when you're catching up to them?

If this isn't the answer, it better start to be. That's good.

Here are a few photos of the Cannondale R900 I picked up a few months ago from Craigslist. I spent quite a bit of time cleaning and polishing it up, and it is now ready to ride. Unfortunately, I have not had much time to ride it, though I'm hoping to put plenty of miles on it come springtime.

I think the CX70 crank makes sense especially if you live in a hilly area. Once I get up to 35/40mph going down hill I quit pedaling anyway. I just switched from a triple to compact and surprised how much I use the big ring/50 but would probably get more use if I had a 46.
