Rob, I have always loved your bikes (minus that trek) but I noticed that most of your bikes have a different stem angle/length and different saddle to bar drop. (3 or 4 of them appear to have the same drop but the rest are fairly different. The trek for example looks like someone who just bought their first bike)
Sup wit dat?

was there a TT bike in that setup I am missing? lol
I understand the difference, but some of those bikes were set up very much different. I was just curious, not judging.

Rob, you have one expensive hobby my friend. Do yourself a favor and start considering it a passion. 
It might be easier to convince any significant other of the financial input required to keep up such a passion as apposed to a hobby.

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

I will see how much I like the new frame. The Colnago Ct-1 frame was built in 2003. It is constructed of titanium main tubes, carbon stays and fork. Sweet ride IMO. Built entirely of used components. All Campy all the time. Check out how old that saddle is and the avocet computer! ( since updated ) Photo is not the best but the ride quality is pretty great. Will get a more recent picture up soon.

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

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

Yeah I had to look up that Brenizer method. Never heard of it before, but definitely something I want to try with my Nikon using Tamron 28-105 f/2.8 35mm lens (42-158mm effective due to crop factor) at full zoom. Full zoom at f/2.8 already gives some pretty nice bokeh but something like using that method sounds awesome.
Okay enough photography talk, now back to some hawt bikes

Thank you! I tried my best to make a tiny apartment shot look good haha.
Glad you looked it up! I've been trying to mess around with it for a while. My first attempt at doing the same thing with my bike was horrible. But I learned that if you can be really steady, less shots is more. Just be really conscious of your over-lapping and know that you don't need a ton of your frames to overlap by a lot. Just the outer edges with a little extra room. Haha yes I could easily keep talking about this stuff. I love it.

If the bike was custom built, why didn't you have it made so that it wouldn't need the sstack of pacers, the flipped stem, and the saddle would sit on the middle of the rails? Or is this pre-fitting?
