IDK, I still like the idea of paying hottubes to strip the paint, and then do just the Cervelo logo on the downtube, but like the back to black logos with just the white outline.
I think instead of a scale of 1-10. Rate it in degrees Fahrenheit. This bike would be 120deg or typical Phoenix in the summer time. It belongs to ColorChange on here.

Those tires come that way. There's no choice on "label" placement. You can call Vittoria and let them know they do not meet BF 41 standards.

Either that or stage the bike with the valve stems up pointed down, and label on the bottom. and no one will see it. BTW the throwback pic above is scaled down for BF right click copy image location and open in new tab. My wheels were staged that way in those pics, and you can't see the tire labels. Stupid Italians can't do anything right.

It looks like more than 5 1/2" which is what I thought he liked. I haven't ruled out him raising the posts for "perfection shots" to up his internet cred. Seriously, any more interest in hyper-reality and this thread is one prototype fabricator away from becoming the manga of bike porn. For some odd reason this clip springs to mind.

This in no way is meant against SA who seems pretty grounded. He does do his part to fuel the mystique of impossible standards though.

I debated the getting a PRO track stem too but ended up with a Vibe 7s which is pretty stiff for a 140. I may try one of the carbon wrapped aluminum ones at some point but likely not on a solo ride.
I think you missed the joke that you are setting false standards by raising your seatposts up a couple extra inches for the photos. Don't go getting all OCD or anything. The picture is perfectly fine and sentimentally valuable.

Gotcha. I actually lowered the saddle recently about 10mm, and pushed it back 15mm. As long as it doesn't rain, I am going to try to get a ride in today, and see how it works out. I also put a 4mm spacer under my bars. I shall see how the fit changes work out. Anyway w/o any further wait. Here is the result. Vuka Sprints, and all!
