Thanks Youngin, it was actually the "show me your Allez" thread where they just posted a nice 13 in blue. It was late last night and I was a bit "happy" when I viewed BF. I didn't even remember looking into that thread. that being said, the picture quality of the blue Allez on p. 892 is even better. Damn, it looks sweet. I have a special place in my heart for a nicely priced bike that looks oh so cool.

Took some updated photos, thought I'd post in here again...
2012 Fuji Altamira 2.0
My new saddle came in yesterday so I threw it on. Think it was a $200+ saddle for $80, shrug, we'll see how it is for that price.
Not sure what I should do with the white oval stem and seat post, I'm thinking I want to replace them with black items but maybe just use some acetone to remove the graphics for now.
And the white bartape isn't going to cut it, that will be replaced with black very shortly.
Also, think I should remove the oval stickers from the rims? I guess I could photo chop them out and see what it looks like, I'm guessing it would look better though.

thanks for the comments and I've always like the white Look. I just got a 586... need some prep before I put it up to the "hot or not" scrutiny.
As for the pic, yeah it's the wrong side but it's on a slight hill and it looked better framed that way

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
At this time of year, with the roads being a minefield of potholes, loose sand, water, and some icy patches the road bikes have to wait a while before they get to come out and play... to that end I will probably be busting out my xc bike so I can lay down some miles and not worry about breaking me or the bike.
I envy folks for their nicer weather at this time of year but will just have to make due.

I really dig it, even though I'm not a fan of bar-end shifters.
