Cleave - Your bikes have always been aesthetically pleasing to the eye but the Serotta is my favorite followed by the Cannondale. Have you had to do any Campy lever rebuilds over the years for the G springs?

Hi All,
Thanks for the very kind words! I've never gotten this kind of reaction in this thread.
It's funny, I like the Shiv a lot but I think it's a little less "sexy" than the Bianchi D2 Crono Carbon that I've posted here in the past. However, from a functional perspective, the Shiv is a lot more aero.
Bostic, so far I haven't had to rebuild any of my Record-10 shift levers. Maybe I don't shift enough.
I sold the Cannondale SuperSix Hi-Mod frame and one of the bikes to come is a SuperSix EVO with most of the parts from the Hi-Mod.

I couldn't agree more. The shiv is hot, but the bianchi was the sexiest tt bike I have ever seen.

Been lurking on this thread instead of participating for the past year. Anyway, here's a couple from my "stable" with more to come:


Just completed a major overhaul on the 5 year-old Serotta Attack while the new Specialized Shiv module inherited some parts from my prior Bianchi TT bike to complete it.

This is my go to bike. It is 16.1lbs with everyting including the water bottles and electronics, It can lose 2 lbs so EZ, But I like it as is. I wish that I can show a good side picture. Every single piece of metal you see is either anodized gold Titanium, or plain titanium. Custom pedal spindles, titanium. And so many nice things on it I couldn't possibly name them all. Oh yeah , every bearing on the bike is full ceramic, Even the headset. I want to show my other bikes, they are much lighter and faster, but this is and will always be my baby! If people don't like it, so be it. I do, and I guess that is all that counts! Last but not least She is a prototype, a 3rd, so I doubt any one will find it on line.

Well, we'd love to see it... waiting patiently for a good photo from the side showing the whole bike!

It has nice stuff hanging on it, but I don't find that one attractive either.

Please tell me that you just put the bike together and still need to dial it in.

Nah, it fits me perfect . the tube slopes at the back and makes the seatpost seem very long, it is an ISP frame, look at the height of the seat to the handlebar height.
