here you go. I picked that up, but liked the lighting in the original better. I am not painting that garage door, it's crap and needs to be replaced.

It's the brand of the frame and is based on how they do pre orders for framesets and what not in November.

I wanted a carbon clincher that will spin up fast (light), stiff, and not cost so much that I would be afraid to crash it. The November wheel that fits that was the 38 (they don't currently sell a 50mm clincher). The Boyd 50mm with with the 24/28 cx-ray (standard) build fit the bill the best for me.

That is an awful lot of spokes. Sounds heavy.

Ha, you're right. Here's one with the old improperly adjusted saddle and a light. I'm now running an Arione.

I'm not sure why, but I really like it. Just needs a different fork.

I see that now...but then what's the point of saying "mine are 1150gr". So what, we're talking about Boyd...

Soloist Assassin said 24/28 sounds heavy because it's a lot of spokes. He mentioned his 24/28 wheelset to show that it is a false assumption.

I like how you put the bike in Big to Big... makes the derailleur look like William Wallace being racked. Also the cable housing for the RD is impressively long, Very nice; might have to cut some new housing for mine and run a new cable to match the look :)... you could lasso a calf with that!

The red headset clashes a bit, but other than that, I really like it.
