What you really mean is: If you aren't between 5'6", and 6' you should shoot yourself, and hope you are reincarnated to a proper sized. Human so you can ride a proper looking bike. All kidding aside, I agree 54-56cm always seems to look best. Except for the S5, where 56cm looks horrid, and it only gets worse beyond that. As much as I hate white, and pink, your bike is stunning irregardless.

shawn bradley's (7'7" former NBA player) bike actually doesn't look worse than conan's and he's over a foot taller!

Love that Cervelo RS Giro D'Italia Edition. Don't recall ever seeing pink forks but I like. What wheelset are those anyways? Curious.

conan's bike looks ridiculous. The headtube is twice the normal length, actually could be 3x the normal length if counting old school steel frames. The weird part is that he's like 6'4" which isn't abnormal.

Yes they are the Neuvation R28 wheel. Great strong wheels. When I got them quite some time ago they were throwing in a ceramic bearing upgrade. Thousands of miles later still buttery smooth.

Very hot. For me, frankly, this reinforces my opinion that their regular paint jobs suck - it's a beautiful frame with cleans lines before they muck it up.

Exactly. Its getting hard to find a frame without looking like a moving advertisement. I don't mind the company name on the down tube but then some also have it on the fork, top tube, chain stays and seat stays. Oh and seat tube sometimes too. All at once!

Just take a razor blade to that crap, and then repaint it like I did to my Trek. In the next few weeks my saddle combo will be here for the S2, and the Trek will inherit the SLR. I'll have to submit some new pics then. The current saddle is atrocious, but comfy.

Don't hold back, Bianchi! 
I like the photo above but I wouldn't mind seeing a full-shot from the side. Nice looking bike.

Here's an updated picture. Fizik microtex tape, higher saddle, lower bars. I also just waxed my frame with Meguiars Gold Class wax.

This is actually one of the nicer paint jobs and it looks quite nice. Not sure why the put the extra "cervelo" on the front of the seat tube. I feel like the logo on the down tube and the small one on the top tube is just perfect. When will they learn less is more!
