Great work of art Rob! You riding in the TdC this year? Definitely gotta check this thing out if you are. I'm flying solo this year so I can ride with the big boys and not feel bad about dropping any good friends.

Running Zipps with little to no saddle-bar drop = not hot. I like the frame, I like the Zipps, but everything from there up and out is where this one falls apart for me. However, I thank you for posting a pic of that Fizik bag, I was thinking of getting one, I think not now.

That's a hottie you've got there. I've not liked the look of many of the deep wheel bikes I see here, but your bike is hot. I think it's the decals that make the wheels ugly. Zipps are the worst.

honestly there aren't many bikes that I'd genuinely say are ugly... someone has to almost go out of the way to make it ugly before ugly comes to mind. There are generic ebay carbon bikes but even those aren't ugly, just plain. Some nice rides here. I'm not a fan of the hipster bikes though, I like the visual appeal, the sleekness and eloquence, of a road bike.

I wouldn't just assume that the picture was taken with the bike fitted properly. You have no idea, if the rider just hopped of their bike or they just pulled it out of the back seat requiring to adjust the saddle and seat height. Besides that, too small is the "cool" trend on here. But it's not like his seat is jacked up or anything like that. The bike is definitely a small frame, but probably couldn't find any smaller without some major sacrifices.

The only thing I've done since taking that picture is rotating my handlebars down a bit. But I ride it as is.
