He bought this to tide himself over until his Sachs is built which is supposed to happen some time this year.

Here goes,
2008 Cannondale System Six
SRAM Red shifters, crank/Force deraulleurs, 11-26 Force cassette, DA7900 chain
Ciamillo brakes
Easton EC90 bar/Stella Azurra Eleganza bartape and EC90 seatpost
Stronglight CT2 52/36 chainrings, KCNC chainring bolts
Speedplay Zero pedals
FSA OS 115 stem 110mm
Specialized Romin gel saddle
Woodman seat clamp
Continental GP4000 front/Force rear
Yishun 50mm carbon clinchers
I've got a KMC x10SL gold chain on the way.
Total weight: 16.05 lbs with pedals, cages, computer.

It seems to be part of the whole "in your face" trend in marketing and media storylines prevailing these days. I really dislike it but think it does resonate with our bored, materialistic, and directionless society. Just imagine what the roads would look like if it makes it to cars - holy rolling billboards.

That's one thing I like about my CAAD7 frame. It doesn't have all that excessive type all over it.

Bike is hot, photo is not. Get lower, shoot with a longer focal length from further away, don't frame quite as tight .

Specialized Roubaix though, not. Bars are way too high.
Here is my current main bicycle:
Though the saddle has since been replaced with a Selle Italia SLR with carbon rails. Just a hair over 15 lbs at the moment.

Hot: milliron's 10, the Cervelo S2, the CAAD 7, and the Look 595, because I really want one. I recently missed out on a white 595 (in a trade) because it had the seat mast cut too short.

Now that we're being honest, how about some feedback on my current main ride:
I made some significant changes, so I will try to re-post the new setup when I get around to it.
