Thanks! The beater is a Trek 5200. I have not ridden the Eastons yet. I got them for $300, but the front is cracked on the other side. Getting it fixed through Easton for $350 so it will be a nice budget set of tubies. Going to race with the rear on Saturday. This is her in her previous life. On the training wheels.

Absolutely center-of-the-sun hot, SA. Well done. I have my Vuka Sprints installed, but have lagged on getting the cables re-routed - taking it to a shop this weekend and I can't friggin' wait! How much did you chop off the ends?

Thank you very much. I cut exactly 1" off each side. Which was 9g, plus then another 3g of bartape. It felt perfect where I cut them on my ride yesterday.

S2 is HOT. Perfect BF presentation photo too, although I wouldn't crop so tight and give it some room

They are the full extended valves, not extenders.
Thanks, I admit however the back it looks like it's on the 15 or so. So I kinda screwed it up a little bit there. The Trek is on the 11 though.

I could live with that. Maybe blacked out stem would complete the look. I think you wanted to get one but they were unavailable.

Word. Both bikes came out exactly as you visioned. Very well done and fantastic job for following through on initial plans. The custom seats are RIDICULOUS! I commented on the other thread about a sticker with your name on it for the Trek, I realized now that you already have that.. So just ignore that part of the comment.

What's the weight of the S2 frame btw? I want to say my aluminum S-works isn't far off - if that's the case I could theoretically get down to that weight. Not sure I want to spend the money chasing that rabbit though.

I never weighed it, if you can believe that. They are usually around 1150-1200g depending on the size.

Thanks WHOOOSSHHHiepants! I covet a SLC-SL a lot you know this. The early Cervelos had such nice paint designs in comparison. Especially on the headtube. The dual Cervelo logos are so much better than the stupid lowercase "e". The new bikes have the superior aero cabling so it's tough. I still would love to do some custom paintwork, but I probably will.

How did you know you would like the saddle? Did you have choices? if so, how did you know which one to choose? The picture makes it look like it has some padding. When I looked them up on google images, they all looked carbon. hope this isn't rude, but do you mind me asking how much it ended up costing? (if you do mind, I understand)
