Can't say I blame you. This is my second one and I'm pretty happy on how they perform. My previous one was mainly white so switching over to primarily black (nude carbon) is a nice change. I got a nice deal on the frame (mentioned it to you before) so I no buyer's remorse here. Now I just got to get some more miles on her. This one is a standard crank so now I have both compact & standard (once again).
it was a 57 and i need to size down, i loved it and I love the 12 even more.

I thought this was a neat little pic. This is where my S2 sleeps in my bike dungeon.

That's a mighty fine looking TT rig. Even if it is mostly white.

As a matter of fact that bike can be seen in the reflection in the mirror just above my top tube of the S2 in the pic I just posted. I like it a lot better now. It looks ninja as can be.

The other bikes not so much, so the fact that the Trek now hides dirt is a good thing.

That looks like a 0 degree stem... so flipping wouldn't really do much. The bike is Hot though.
