Shimano on this frameset is not a good move. Zipp is not a good move either

Bora Ultra on this frame set would be much better

tubular as well. The thread is called " Maximum Bling"

FSA on this framset has to go.

this is how this bike should look.

Well, I blinged my bike a bit today and picked up a pair of Mavic Ksyrium ES wheels, these should look nice on my red Specialized Tarmac and I hope will help me climb a bit better.

Man, I was going to just for having valve stem caps on there at all. I ended up just rolling the point deduction in with the tubulars.

sprinters are great tires. I mean especially if you actually ride the bike.

didn't you point out this was "maximum" bling? If you have a fancy set of race wheels, you should use a fancy set of race tires. No exceptions.

maximum bling. OK, buy a denali, nice and cheap. then send the left over money to get EVERYTHING chromed, and out a pair or chrome spinners on it, Oh and hydraulics. now THAT'S PIMP!!!

I'll share my secret on looking fast. Ride the MUPs during the week. You have only a handful of overweight older folks on beach cruisers and a few joggers, so you are certain to pass everyone so you feel as fast as you look.

haha the beach road which is part of my usual weekend ride is like that, lots of people on cruisers, lots of fat people going at 10mph

NOTE: I'm not stating this I'm asking this.....

Can an American brand be blingy???? If Trek is not blingy can any Cervelo or Giant be blingy? Does the components make a bike blingy or the wheels if the frame is not.....? Does a Euro frame = blingy even if it's made in the far east? ........
