I have posted this before but some people asked for a better pic. So here you go:
It is much older than a lot of you out there. And I am the original owner.

Lol. I don't care if people don't like my bike. If you read this at all it says it's not even my first or second nicest bike. Also as said before. That post was to simply keep the thread rolling. As it did. at least for a page or two. I do however feel that this page should just be called post your Cervelo at this point. Simply Hot or Not. is all that is needed, not the I think you should have your bike setup exactly like every other plain off the shelf Cervelo with slammed stem, seatpost to the limit, and Some deep carbons they only use 4 times a year.
I am starting a new thread called... "Wheels and Photography Skills oh yeah.. only the cheapest of white garage doors counts" which is pretty much what this has become. Comments like "Triples are ALWAYS a not" just goes to show you how laughable some people are when it comes to thinking outside the box.. or at all really.
Peloton.. S2 is HOT despite my above comments.. (Way to follow the Sheppard's advice)
Andy_K .. Never seen a Surly setup so Road like. (I'm always a loyal Surly touring bike fan) Hot?

I thought about getting the black/white elite custom cages and keeping the black hoods, but then my S2 would truly be a generic S2 with deep carbon wheels.
That being said, I tried to customize it by playing off the red accenting on the frame as much as possible. Although not visible in the picture, the tubular tires also have a centre red stripe. I'm also thinking about getting these red CNC Planet X brakes
to replace the stock FSA Gossamer brakes and save 100+ grams in the process.

Here is my UCMIBZ style review:
Not hot!!! look at the ridiculous position of the rear skewer, the red lettering on the front tire is a different red than the frame, the wheels are a model year older than the frame, it needs a nice garage door, the crank arm is .0003 degrees to low, the shadowing on the floor is horrible, and the cabling on the handle bars is .004mm to high
