Looks like the masses agree with me Fredly. Your incorrectness could not be overstated.

Both look pretty good. I would say the Scott is hot, the Specialized, I'm not feeling the white stem, or bottle cages. Other than that well done. The important thing for people to take away from your post, is: If you are going to go with Shimano, at least don't use a horrible squid crankset. For that I give you

Go back and try again.Anyway, it's all in jest and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I thought about the decals and think plain wheels would look funny on the bike since there's so much going on on the frame itself. I prefer subtle graphics but that's not what I have so I'll stick with the rolling billboard

I generally don't like the proportions of big bike (I wonder why ) but this one looks right and hot.

I would say hot. Even though I am a big fan of specialized bikes, there is something that looks off. I think it is the black seat post since everything else frame/stem is white. Perhaps a white seat post or a black stem/stack? still hot though.

best thing about that allez is the logos. it only says each thing (specialized, allez, and E5) ONCE (or at least, once on each side). that's how it should be done - nice and simple, not plastered all over the place. wish they'd go back to that, and that other manufacturers would take note.
also, ahson - nice setup.

1940 track Paramount restoration using vintage Campy Record/Nuovo Record components instead of the prohibitively expensive original Schwinn components.

The simple background contributes to the composition of the bike.
