I'm not a fan of the red accents on the paint job; however, the green, black and white look good. Overall, I thinks it's HOT.

That's not a helmet, its a bike stand.

When taping from the top down, the tape slides and becomes very ugly very quickly. Drive side is the WRONG side for the qr lever. Your bars look fine as-is.

No on the red Fuji simply because you used an iPhone5 when you could of used the money for more bike swag.

I say no on the Fuji because its simply not hot. Its an alright looking bike, nothing snazzy though.

I say no on the iPhone 5 simply because you could have gotten an S3 ;-) I kid I kid

You had to know you'd get called out for the aero bars, but otherwise a hot bike. Whats up w/ the wheels?

fujimx 09-30-12 11:00 PM

Thanks, I put the aero bars because I was doing the 70.3 in cozumel, My best friend she has a store that sells muffins and candy popcorn and the name of the store is Suiker.

50s. Thought about the 58s, but this bike is an all-arounder, so I thinking about the weight and the impact of cross-winds where I ride. (Lots of wind off the water.)

FIFY

By they way, that bike looks pretty hot, especially with that lighting effect. Do you have regular daylight pics, I would be interested to see how it looks on the road. Also, with that much post exposed, I would think it would act like a spring, do you get much flex on it?

Don't let it bother you. They are just jealous of us.

From your seatpost extension, it would appear you are tall, not just long-armed. But I understand the desire to "look" cool.

I really like the look of the Vuka Sprint short and shallow. What I don't like is the price. Make it available at about $100 and I would be all over it. I just can't justify spending over $300... ok, who am I kidding... I just don't feel like it right now.

Have you seen the new Bontrager aero road bars? They have large kamm tail tops but not as expensive as the Zipps.

Stiffest bars I've ever used as well. I paid just over $200 on ebay if I remember correctly.

Guy who did my fitting on Saturday has arms and fingertips that almost get down to his knees. His wing span is a full 6 inches longer than his height. I haven't seen how his bikes are set up but I wouldn't be surprised if it was like that one above.
