Just build up the Cervelo for the better half. The rest of the Sram Red is on it's way, also tossed in a pic of my current bike.

Just picked this baby up today. Stock Felt F95 Team Edition with some wireless Trek computer that came with it for free 
. Been lurking around here for a while. Upgraded majorly from a specialized hard rock that was way way WAY too small. Been for one 'short' ride so far. I'm loving road bikes over MTBs on the road currently.

Thanks, I didn't edit the pics at all or I would of fixed the pinkness. I like the hoods low. I have a position I use, where I basically lay my hands on the hoods, and wrists flat against the bars, and tuck low and fast. It is really comfortable, I've been doing it for years. Almost as low as drops, buy a little more comfortable.

[QUOTE=OCLV Assassin;11023165]I posted these in another thread, but I figured I would put some new pics up of my current love. I just put SRAM Red on her, as well as a few other things since the last photo session.
You should have put a decal on: VROOMEN-PINK-DESIGN. Why not put on Sram PINK?
I know, I know. Bad picture, and it's actually red
As someone else said, why are the hoods so low? Looks like you might slide off them any second.

3 post up above yours I already addressed this question. I run all my hoods that low. Here is my other bike the same way, but the SRAM hoods don't stick up quite as much as Shimano. This bike has different bars, and bottle cages now, but otherwise still looks about the same. Just put it back together after putting the 6500 back onto it, once I got the Red for the SLC. It's a fun bike too, but the SLC is amazing how much faster it is. I still love my old Trek though, and I am glad you guys talked me out of selling it.

Meet Frankenbike - a 2006 Jamis Nova with a Surly LHT fork, gatorskins, 105 components and some free Ultegra pedals I picked up from a friend. It's completely steel, fairly heavy, but a total joy to ride. One day, maybe I'll actually try something with carbon in it - for now, I've got 2,200 miles in my first year with her.

Alright, I guess everybody has his/her own preference

Ive been trying to find a pic of a bike in this forum.
If i remember correctly it had a custom paint job. The color was Toyota white, i think, with black handle bar tape. The frame was a Scanttante until the owner had it custom painted.
Anyone know what bike I am talking about?
