nice bike. what does it weigh?

Very nice. I think that the saddle works, aesthetically, but I know that there are more comfy saddles than the good ol' Ponza (I rode one for about 6 months). Cages would be the only nitpick, but only because you're asking. Personally, I think two black ones would look better.

I like the blue, but you have a little unused space left over on the post for more advertising.

Forget the bike, way to match the kid's clothes with the interior trim! ;)


Nice bike - I wish more manufacturers would do classic bands of color, rather than (almost) exclusively swoopy lines.

My" Dream"

Thanks for the replies on my blue CAAD9. The bottle cages and saddle are my only future changes. I eventually want to get a lower profile, lighter wheelset for crits and climbing. Haha, funny about the advertising; oddly enough I removed the deals on the Carbones last year, but it looked awful on the tarmac (I forgot to take pics). If I could have a solid color frame I would've left them off, I would actually prefer that.

BTW, I have not put it on the scale, but I can tell it feels significantly lighter than my 19lbs tarmac. I'll weigh it soon.

Ps - hot colnago up there. I love the bright yellow scheme.

Lot of really cool/awsume bikes here,

This pic is from the web of my new bike, no options added except extra gel wrap on the handle bars for my sleeping hands.

I have to figure out what I need, hope to get my butt on it this weekend as long as there is not too much salt on the roads between my place and the lake paths.

Figured since there are probably less than 10 other people out there than may one day one this bike, I finally have something worth posting here.

Hot..... Still something sexy about 7800 cranks.

Different yes, Hot no.......
Frame graphics really kill an otherwise........ average looking frame.
Add on bulky SPD pedals and multi color brakes and its a no win to my eye.

Obviously Super freaking HOT!
This is how it should be done!

I agree about the pedals. I have 105s on the way (not that they are too much better weight wise, I am pretty loyal to Shimano pedals). Also, the Tektro brakes are less than half the weight of the Shimano 105's and have a multi location speed select lever plus offer quite a bit more stopping power. Either way, it's a damn nice ride. Love the SL2 though. Sweet bike as well.

I really like those bars, and the flat lower section is nice along with the aero. Seems like Time actually implemented all the right components of an aero bar and ergo.

Let's see what you guys think. Here our C13 Super Record:

New pedals will help immensely in the HOT department. Your bike would be hot most anywhere besides here.....lol. There is some heavy competition in this thread.

one word. Yum. How Much?

Fugly!!!!!!






Just kidding :) Smoking Hot!

6350g built with super record. thats pretty legit.

I completely understand. I mean sure, next to some of the BMC's and leejs TIME machnine, there is almost a level of impossibility to equal them unless you're on a 20k budget. You can get this bike built up in SRAM red as well. That makes it very pulled together in the looks department.

VA_Esquire - what is that in reference to?

the battaglin bike on the previous page.

Everything is hot, except the frameset.

I understand the appeal of "handmade in Italy," but the $5000 frameset pricepoint is likely to be a tough sell in the US with limited brand recognition.

I knew that would be expensive... but MAN

Gary, just because of your love for the 7800. Here is another one that I did a while back.
