What road bike do you have?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What road bike do you have?

lol I think the tires and bar tape are the main issue.

With that being said, as long as the owner likes it, that's all that matters. Looks like a nice bike! I am glad I am not the only one running a stack of spacers

To tell the truth I haven't ridden it yet as I am still getting over jet-lag and a cold. They should be easy to ride in the drops anyway.

You're going to love it. I have a 2013 litening (the sram red version), and it's awesome.

I will let you know soon! I am just about fit enough to ride it and now waiting for the weather to improve.

Turns out that Tommasini did not understand the colour scheme I requested so I will have to get that fixed so I am happy with it.

It should have looked similar to this:

Just changed my frame to one that fits me better:
It's a Flyxii Flx-Fr-322. I have decals being delivered soon. It's currently at 16.04 lbs. with a alloy post and stem.

I rode it today for about 25 km. It was fine and fits me very well.

I weighed it as well and at 8.28kg it is 10 grams less than my Pinarello which is somewhat surprising to me.

Holy sloping top tube Batman! Almost seems like it's nearing the realm of a MTB frame shape.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's an XS frame.

Love that custom Pink Bike

Went out for a spin a couple of days ago to check out a new shop in the nearest town. The owner liked my bioke and took this pic for his twitter feed. First time I've had a proper ride on it and I'm blown away
