Cheap white tape dirties awfully fast. Quality tape stays cleaner much longer and cleans up easier when it is dirty.Red or white would look great on that bike.

Glossy white Fitzik would look awesome and is very resistant to getting dirty. Spendy though. I have the glossy black on my new Giant.

They're tubulars - not so easy to find these days at a reasonable price. Have you priced out a set of new tubulars lately? Too dear for me.

Here's my S5 (56): ROlling on Boyd 58s. The 50/34 (11-25) rings that came with the bike were a joke, so I put on 52/38s (12-25) and that has made a TON of difference. Hoping to get out and get a proper picture soon. Yes, I'm aware of the Rule #48 violation. ISM recommends the rails be horizontal to just barely over, and it works. Scary fast!

Yeah yeah. I'm actually surprised how many I see out there... pros, not-so-much sos, time trials and road bikes. I have a Madone that came with a Bontrager torture device, and someone recommended I try an Adamo. I have two now.

Nice photo. Beats a garage door any day. Now I'm sure someone on here will critique the photo, but speaking as a professional photographer, I love the image. The front wheel is blown out and there's some things not perfect, but hey! It works. Nice shot. In fact, I'm not blown away with the bike, but the photo is good enough I'd say HOT! lol...

The bike is filled with explosive energy. Some seeps out from time to time!
