Yeah definitely should of gone up a size.

Not only does he suffer from a medical condition, but a mental one as well. What kind of idiot would build a 13.5lbs bike? Do you do a lot of climbing where you live? Seems like such a waste of money, you should just ride your bike more, and get stronger, then you wouldn't need a bike that light!

Uh I would have thought you knew this one... the weight weenie thing is a whole other hobby in and of itself.

Sarcasm.

I will take this bike apart, the frame is too big, the reach is fine, but it is too tall for me, I am 5'10", the frame is 57.

Nice looking 2007 Prestige...

VA_Esquire 10-06-11 06:41 PM

I have a soft spot for Specialized bikes. Hot. definitely once youve put the RED crankset on.

Love Looks, but that seat angle is weirding me right the heck out.

That is cold I thought you were going to comment on the brakes and bottle cage
That that were painted to match. anyway I have fiddled with the saddle for two months and it looks weird the pictures but is not as bad in person.

That Tarmac looks sweet and so does the Look. Both hot. Nice job with the colors on the Look and what bars are those?

adriano 10-06-11 10:06 PM

ariones definitely have to slope that way, but that seems a bit much. you might not be an arione fit.

Commodus 10-06-11 10:23 PM

I think it's just way too high, myself.

Could be because I have a 33" inseam. I have been riding an arione saddle on 3 bikes for the last 3 years after trying a smp, toupe and a pave.

adriano 10-07-11 06:53 AM

it might just be the picture.

do you get taint pain if its any flatter?

My wife wants a modern roadbike (carbon/clip ons/sub 16lbs), but she actually flies on this thing. She's decided look at modern cyclocross bikes that break away (cc couplers/or the ritchey system) instead (maybe with disc brakes). We plan to travel with bikes in the future and its looking like x-cross bikes are the way to go.

I bet the saddle to bar drop on my bikes, makes you want to kill yourself.
