Found this 2003 Klein Q Carbon Team for a song, couldn't resist building up my first road bike. Shimano 105 5800 throughout, everything else is cheap stuff I've accumulated over the years. Nothing special, but I really enjoyed picking out all the little parts and putting it all together. Gratifying! And it's even more gratifying to ride.
Only thing left to add is...holy stiffness, Batman!

in the spring time im going to upgrade the components to force 22 and add other nice tid-bits so that its worthy of the hot-or-not thread.

Cannondale Synapse 3 Hi-MOd with Ultegra Di2's. Picked it up yesterday and LOVE it! Did a quick lap around the subdivision yesterday and I'm dying to get out and really ride it.

My Motobecane Vent Noir
18.1 lbs as pictured, not bad for such a cheap frame.

Your Velobuild looks more relaxed than I expected, I thought it would look more like a Venge.

I don't have enough miles on it to have a good opinion. It looks a lot like a Venge to me. It may have been the camera angle.

Frankenbike, sort of. 2008 BMC RoadRacer SL01 (Aluminum).
Campy gears, FSA crankset, FSA calipers, nothing matches yet it comes together.
Everything used but the shifters, tires, and big chainring (from the Performance clearance table).
