what Tracy said

Just brought this baby home last night. Custom built by Mike DeSalvo in less than 3 months. Great price too!http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=276946

Nice bike!

Really dude. Let's see your bike!

Nice one.

That spooky is just plain weird with the color choices. I give it a not because of that. I do not get the gold seatpost or chain, doesn't go with the bike at all. The red pedals and brakes don't either, and that RD is screaming in pain. If I was going to try and add color to that bike I would go with a blue to match the blue in the "Spooky" logo. A dark grey Ultegra (I believe that crank is Ultegra) groupset would look killer on that bike, the silver not so much.

What's the saddle on this? I dig the bike.

I present to you, my $150 Nashbar (yes, Nashbar...) AL/Carbon frame build that I've been constantly upgrading over the past year. Just got these 50mm Carbon tubulars a week ago. I initially bought the frame with the intention of upgrading it late, but it's proved to be just fine.

I don't have a fancy smancy garage to shoot against. So here it is in my apartment.

Total build weight is 15.70lb as pictured and it's a blast to ride:

Sella Anatomica. Ridiculously comfortable from the get go. No Break in required.

Posted wrong last time. Its a Sella Anatomica leather saddle with cutout and no breakin.

Nashbar is (amazingly) a hot in my book. Looks like a good crit bike.

Flip and it's perfect

What lens? 85L?

Actually I shot this with my canon 50mm 1.4 but took about 15 shots and stitched them together with the Brenizer method.

That was my second guess! Cool.

Really dig the nashbar. I've been thinking of getting one myself but a few reviews say there's a problem with the fd routing. Have you run into any?

Thanks! I read about people having issues with that as well but I haven't had any problems. Granted I had my LBS set up my cables on the frame and they didn't mention anything. Everything looks good to me.

Very well done...HOT!

Bad challenge here...

Uh oh! :eek:

Which one? I think poor jerry meant bikes.

I concur...

Steerer will get cut soon, I think I've decided on that position.

You put the QR on the right side. :thumb:

Thanks!

Nagrom, holy **** that is sexy.

Thanks. Surprisingly, the Merak II with its subtle paint scheme doesn't attract the attention the Ridley does but its ride characteristics are similarly close to one another.
