Looks like the bike is Di2 equipped as well. Meh if I had a kid interested in cycling, I'd do the same... except no dorky TT helmet.

This is a bike i put together a while ago - the original had about 4000 spacers, a brooks saddle, a heavy steel for, and 105 with white cabling.
ended up selling it because it was too noodly for me.
This is my S2 - i've since switched to Vincero bottle cages and made some adjustments to the fit.

This is called vicariously living through your child.

You realise the kid with the LWs is photoshopped, right?

I stand corrected. From the blurring by the rear wheel and the sheer improbability of it, I was sure I was right, but I guess not. Bloody hell! In fact, here it is:

Here is an actual Picture of the bike being built with my name on it for proof. Where is the picture of "your" bikes with your name on it. Oh that's right, you can't, you don't own a bike......

[QUOTE=JSS;13922740]JSS watching from a distance just wanted to make a comment, hard to defend against the post from WW especially since this frame color and the one you originally posted are different. Just saying.

Point taken, I had no idea where the picture came from, my son downloaded it to show me what bike he wanted, I should have been more specific. The red color is last years model, It will have the same Mavic wheels but Di2 Ultegra instead of campy. I should have waited to post until his bike was done.
Point is that I actually own the Bikes UCIMZ does not

Wow, now I know how girls feel when they show up at a party in the same dress! Amazing how much your Ridley resembles mine. What can I say JSS? I'm flattered that you chose my bike?
Here's where I started with Fulcrum 3s
Before buying the Cosmic Carbones and removing the decals:
Here's a few close ups of the components:
All the best from Sweden!

that humpback top tube is just too odd looking and it's obviously been half-assed fitted for a rider too small for the frame.

Well the fit is a result of fashion. In order to look cool today you have to have a drop of at least six inches and todays frame geometry caters to that look. At 53 that just isn't doing it for me. So the choice was to buy a medium frame and have six inches of head spacers (and how dorky would that look?) or buy a large frame a move the seat forward. The fit is fine. I did a 100km ride on Sunday with no complaints. I may not look as cool as you, but at my age, my only goal is to avoid being dropped when we are doing 300km at 30kph.
