That Giant on the other hand is set up perfectly.

Just found this.
Dont know what you are talking about though.
Stupid Google links though and stupid forum email notifications also seem to start and stop randomly.
At least they have fixed the ability to upload pics direct to the forum.

And maybe you need a sense of humour injection. I was teasing the Giant dude (because that is what this whole thread is about).

Except for the wavy woo saddle, that Concorde is well hot :thumb:

I tried to remember all the rules - don't roast me too bad if I forgot one (maybe the seat bag still on is a no no)?

Not hot - for that very reason: Follows too many rules about what ought to be hot. ;)

Hot bike but that saddle setup looks funky pushed all the way back and with the stubby nose.

How do you like that Silca roll? How long have you had it?

Yesh it does, but the Power saddle is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t cause me issues and due to my body type, that frames geometry, and desire to run 170 cranks, that’s the saddle setback I’ve got to run.

I really like that silica roll. I was hesitant to get one, but to the point above - my thighs where hitting my standard seat bag so I had to go with it. I’m hindsight I wish I had made the change sooner. It’s definetly easier to take on and off for races and much easier to get back on in the same spot as before. Plus it holds everything I need.

Cool. I get some thigh rub with bags that wrap around the post, hence my interest. No concerns about it staying on securely? I've seen a couple reports of random drops, but it's hard to say who's guilty of good old user error (and I can't say that I've had any problems with Boas on my shoes).

No problems so far. I don’t really know how it could drop completely off because there’s a button snap that provides an extra layer of security. Unless it comes lose, there’s no way the strap could come off even if the Boa system loosened.

That BMC is hot, but minus 100 points for allowing your shadow in the picture, ugh!

i Ride about 4 days per week and have been using the Same roll for the last few months, no drops yet and I had the same concerns from other reports. It stays on very nicely. Only downside is you have to remove it from the bike to get access to tools and such. No big deal for me since I Ride tubeless and never get flats! But, when helping fellow riders removal is necessary albeit not difficult in the least.

the levers are too high, but the bars are are right where they should be.

This is the second one they built for him. He had to send the first one back because they mounted the water bottle bosses too low on the DT, and the bottles were touching when fully inserted.

i know just busting chops! Crazy mistake on the first one, but their customer service is top notch (as it should be). That sure is one understated vagen, I recognized it purely by the stainless seat tube overlay and then zoomed in on the drop outs. Hope he likes the ride, I’m loving mine more every ride and like to show it too!

Up close you can see the Speedvagen on the TT and chainstays, but at first glance it looks like just a nice black paint job. I'm not very impressed with where the Di2 wire spits out of the chainstay. It leaves a lot of wire dangling free, and waiting to get caught on something.

Hoping to post my setup here within the next week. Waiting to get my steer tube cut. What are the official rules for this thread?

Some people can't keep the 2 threads straight.

That is a really cool bike. I think it's hot for a good solid entry level performance bike.

Love it, not a fan of the SRAM Red but the frame is spectacular.

It would be perfect if the offset on the saddle wasn't that much. It is a beautiful frame and some awesome components.

Give the new guy a break, a member with over 4800 posts told him to post it here. You're right though.
