Good luck with the AL pedal inserts. I tried them and ended switching back to the OEM stainless inserts within just a couple of rides. The Al is just too soft and deforms easily making cleat engagement difficult. Perhaps yours will work better but the ones I tried sucked.

All ti.

I think OCLV tried the al bowties and said they sucked as well.

Only bike worth posting the last few pages, this is HOT!

Correct. The aluminum ones sucked. I'd like to buy some Ti ones at some point.

Yes, I was always jelous of people who has a "photographer" touch.


I will have to practice a little bit more :)

Thanks, after the steerer gets cut I'll take a few more pics in my usual spot.

I'm also adding a few more red accents, so we'll see how that looks.

Hot, do I know you? Aero wheelset would top it off.

Made a few upgrades during the winter: Rotor crankset, swapped white wheels for black, SRAM Yaw FD enroute, and possibly a new saddle in the works. Going to be a good Spring!

hot.

Just picked this up earlier this week. '02 Prodigy. I will be swapping the seatpost and saddle as soon as time and money permits.

Hot. Whats wrong with the saddle? - my favorite color and size.

Put race tires on the race bike, and training tires on the other bike.

Something about the bars that just doesn't look right. :(

I'm having issues with rides over about 35mi, things start to get real tender. I'm going to give the Toupe a shot.

VERY Hot - curious to what model reynolds those are and what is that stand holding up the bike on the rear wheel

Probably similar to a Bike Hand.

I went the other way. I had a toupe, and wasn't that comfy on if I rode an aggressive position. Moved to the Romin Evo after.

Normally I hate white white bikes. I do like that Litespeed, however. It needs some deep wheels. A aero bike with non-aero wheels seems kinda weird. A black saddle would be better too. I was a big Toupe fan, but now I use an SLR, and my SLR shaped Berk combo. Both of which are similar shape to a Toupe, and I like them a bit better.

It's part black so I can understand your fondness for it :)

I do agee that it needs an aero wheelset to complete the look.

I'm done with swapping wheels, tires, tapes and this is what I got,

Which one is the hottest and which will go first for bread and soup when time become difficult?

Both cannondales turned out nice. The blue tape is not working on the bianchi.

if I were you, I would put the white saddle and white tape on the bianchi. I would also consider putting the mavic wheels on the yellow caad and then part with the Fuji. I know two cannondales isn't nessisary, but the Fuji frame doesn't do anything for me.

Edit: and if you do move the mavic wheels, leave the black tires on them.

Two great looking builds. HOT.

@justfitme-you are able to swap out more pieces of a bike than anyone I have seen around here! lol

I wish your fuji was taken in the same daylight that your blue R2000 was. The Bianchi, looks like it was stuck in the over 2 hours to long because it looks waaaaaay overdone! Its a classic older style, I wouldn't try to build it up like its a new evo with neon colors. white bar tape white saddle, simple bottles and maybe keep the tires for a little spice.

when it comes time:

Bianchi goes first, followed shortly by the blue R2000. Tough one between the Cdale and the fuji. I would say keep the fuji based on looks.

I like your idea about white tape and seat for Bianchi... I think it will work much better.

I respect your opinion on departure of yellow tires from yellow Cannondale... but heard different voices.

I like blue frame better than Fuji's (do not exactly know why), but would like to hear more from someone else than 2 cannodnales are better than 1 cannanodale and 1 fuji... :)
