Bummer! What about the paint do you not like? I was torn between a few schemes but felt this looked racy and not over the top and would also stand the test of time fashion wise. In person it’s stunning and lustrous. I’ve not even done a mile on it yet shakedown is tomorrow about 40 miles, but it feels so nice in that brief moment in the saddle :)

Wait!!!
What???
You are meant to say, "looks like a POS brushed aluminium Giant from the 90's".
your saddle is too high and your bars too low.
Cranks, valve stems are placed incorrectly and you have bell on your handlebars.

What kind of amateur are you??? :lol:

But thanks.
I love her, she is amazing.

I agree and I am not a fan of the classic looking wheel set at least not on that frame. I do like the frame and Campy groupo.

What’s up with the red fork and red saddle? Looks like you pieced together spare parts laying around the shop. The extra frame looks like yet another spare part laying around.

Well, it's been a few years... Domane is now gone as of a couple of weeks ago to help fund this project. I know the saddle will send some into a tizzy but here are the specs:

Custom Speedvagen, made to order, fitted to me. Steel all around but with a carbon seat tube, Envy forks, Envy seat mast topper. Pro Stealth bars painted to match. Dura Ace 9150 DI2 kit, Infinity Saddle, Easton SL90 wheels with White Industry hubs, tubeless Schwalbe tires. I have some new carbon wheels that will be going on once I receive the tires (also tubeless).

I haven't even taken it on the maiden voyage yet, but around the block it feels so different from the carbon Domane, weirdly smooth considering what my memories of steel are...

Keep your eyes on those hubs.
They tend to loosen off and if you dont keep them adjusted they end up wrecked.
I have a friend who didn't and bye bye hubs.:mad:

The speedvagon is hot for sure. I personally would have picked the top color a darker blue. I am just not sure about the azzcheek hole saddle.

Do a search on the Specialized Allez Sprints. This is one of the tamer looking models.

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing it with upgraded 35-45mm carbon wheels down the line.

I give it high points for originality. There are too many mass produced carbon frames wth expensive bolt ons in this thread for me.

I just did the same process a couple months ago with Stinner and totally get what you’re saying about the smoothness of the modern steel.

I too am not a fan of the colors, nor the seat mast. For me, it’s not hot, but it’s definitely a badass bike. Nice job!

Anodized red hubs are out of place among the rest of the bike.

Need some red anodized items elsewhere on the bike, like seat rails.

Handlebar finishing tape with white accents doesn't belong, solid black electric tape would make it better.

I love it (particularly the colors!), but the diameter of the downtube looks just a might too big for me. Wish they could have spec'ed something slightly smaller, but not sure if that would be possible.

So quandry here from a hot or not standpoint!

My tires came in for my new tubeless carbon wheels (yoeleo, trying out some Chinese carbon ;)). As you can see from the pic, the tire's logo and script is above the valve stem. What you may not see much of is that the Yeoleo ghosted name is on the rim below. Normal Hot or Not rules dictate that the tire script should be above the valve stem and rim logos. BUT, you can bare notice the ghost logo and of course there is more obvious white writing 90 degrees to the left and right of the valve stem. Unfortunately all of this is under clear coat so I can't remove.

What do you think, rotate the tire verbiage to be above the more obvious white writing on the rim or leave as is?

There is no point of dealing over minutiae like this at this point because the point above overwhelms the minutiae. You are putting Radio Shack speakers on a high end home theater system.
