Very nice bike but i have reason for concern:
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.

Sweet bike, I actually went to a high end shop today and picked up one of these; at $11,000 it was a very very nice bike. But I really fell in love with an unpainted custom Ti Serotta; when I have the $$$$ this may be my next bike.
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.

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.

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? ........
