..I'd have no idea...they do look big in that photo though, and they are moved right along then bars to create room for lights...
But I can't say I noticed they were overly large....

Picture from google, until I can upload my own picture from on a ride!
Bought this off ebay yesterday. Hoping to get on it pretty soon. Get the feel for road racing.

Not my cup of tea looks whose ether its too old but it Rhodes so smooth...I don't think I will get rid of it, I'll keep it just for training / indoor rollers if nothing else but it dose for now.
And thx I looks much better than when I first got it.

On the Road again
Back online after nearly a year silent. Finally settled after a x-country move and back out biking in a new area.
Dropped my trobubled Zipp 101's.....finally (been warranited 2x, spend more time in the shop than on the bike) and got a pair of Shimano Dura Ace C24, 2013. Very Excited to be back out..That 8-9months without consistent riding made me gain ~10lbs. Can't wait to get out and take them off.

I posted my Helix OS when I first got it and now it has been almost 18 months later, with a few modifications. I also posted my Lynskey R330 a while back.
These two then became the basis for my next custom bike, just completed today - my custom Parlee Z1.

Your GT is painted very nicely! That's probably my favorite looking frame on this page. I think your saddle bag might be on wrong though, unless it doesn't fit the other way. Here's a pic for reference. 
Might prevent the bag from hitting your legs.

Those GT carbon frames are actually QUITE nice. I agree about the saddle bag comment. You definitely have it installed incorrectly. The straps are supposed to wrap around the bag and double back on themselves.
