Is there a trying-too-hard category? Lovely frame, but somehow the symmetrically aligned wheel labels set my teeth on Edge.

Great bike. How much does it weigh?

I think those BikesDirect Fens cost $700 shipped. I have an earlier blue one that I'm just now replacing the wheels on and want to get a compact crank to replace the triple. They really ride smoothly.

Looks good, but it looks like you could use a setback seatpost. Also, some new bottle cages maybe? I think the Tacx Tao would look good on there.

my bike? its nearly all the way forward on a zero offset i dont see how a setback would work for me (as i changed from a setback in order to move it forward enough to fit my anatomy)

Setback post is for fit, not aesthetics.

Why would you say that? The saddle looks like it is already far forward on a 0 offset......

I think he got it backwards.

There might be one of these in my future...

I respect a wallet bike, I prefer building them myself though...

But I dont know, a nice Moots or an older Litespeed may get me there too...
