Bice ride tinrobot. Keep us updated as you load the miles on. (I would go for some sleeker wheels but that's just me.

Guess I'll put my CR1 SL on this page too, though I haven't because I think it's a "not" and I *still* haven't cut the steer tube even though I've had it since May. (there are reasons, but this is the Hot or Not thread not the excuses-why-it's-not-hot-thread).
Just under 15# with powertap clinchers. Size 47

Venge above (to avoid another copy of the picture), not hot:
- poor picture quality, not the best angle, date in the corner;
- poor tape job - you need to use the two provided pieces of tape to cover the space behind the hoods;
- not the best choice of tape colour - go for white, or white with red details such as Fizik Dual Tape;
- remove the magnet, sensor and computer when taking a picture for this thread.
Very close to hot though.

what the heck....here is my budget "old man" bike. I didn't realize my saddle was that discolored. It isn't as sleek and sexy as some of the bikes on here, but I ride the hell out of it! There is a Tarmac on here that looks really similar to my Roubaix.

this COULD be hot, but as far as asthetics go I gotta say not. saddle color distracts from the base color of that bike(you already mentioned it was pretty discolored). I dont like the bar tape color. go with white. Even if it gets a little dirty, it will look better than the silver. I would also go with black bottle cages with some white accent. the seat to bar height makes it look off a bit, but I have no idea what your body is like. (but again I'm going off of straight asthetics here. the wheels are a nice compliment to the bike though.
