Bikes: Yeah, I got a few.
I agree that the LOOK is cool, but I just HATE how they splatter their name on the Black and white frame about 30 times!!!!!
I mean come on! We all KNOW it's a LOOK already!!!! You don't need the word "LOOK" on the fork SIX times!!!!! I think they're even worse than Cannondale in terms of writing their name on their frames. It's almost like reading the bible!
Go with a Cervelo instead.
Notice how the word "LOOK" comes up 18 times only on one side of the bike!!!!!
EDIT: Someone already beat me to it while I was adding those highlights to the pic!!!!!
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK,....etc..... Annoying as heck isn't it**********

Really nice bike however it's hard for me to call it blingy and also accept that you did everything correctly to make it fast.
For example -
404 Clinchers and a very lightweight frame - a no no in the fast catagory.
Also the group is not top of the line for the Manufacturer, another no no. .
nice bike/frameset regardless but just a couple things that keep it out of the blingy zone.

Also it would rule out several Colnagos, and Cervelos (IIRC Canadian comany with Asian manufacturing.)

Your Giant is sure nice, heck the graphic is better than most European branded bikes (Storck, Canyon, Look, etc.), but I wouldn't consider it bling, YMMV.

As for the Zipps, the rear PT wheel was acquired after the set of 404's and Zipp changed the decals.
As for the clinchers:

when I had my PT it was on a 404 tubular.
I think the 303's look waaay better, or blingy I guess.

Bling
Look at the Kuota Framesets: Both Kredo and Khan:
Look at Full Carbon Fiber for color, no paint.
Mix w/Black or Black/silver wheels.
Watch them drool.
