^^^ Since I have the same white CAAD9 I gotta say hot. But, why'd ya go away from the white bar tape? I was thinking maybe a white/black or white/black/red splash? I'll be rewrapping my new Ergonovas soon (I reused the old white tape for fitting the brifters) and wondered what black would look like. Thanks for demoing for me :D Oh, did you swap forks?
|
It's a CAAD9-6 so it came with a black fork and red bar tape. The tape hadn't been installed and I prefer the Fizik microtex stuff so I went with black.
Oh, just got your PM. I ordered the bike basically unassembled and built it up with my old bike's components. |

I remember seeing that bike on ebay a while back FIRC, Its definately a sweet looking bike. |
OK, built this up over the winter after getting drilled by a car last August. 80 year old dude wrecked my 10 year old IF Crown Jewel, so I upgraded a bit....

Ok, here's mine....with the new wheels on I feel it worthy to post to the thread.
Frame: 2009 CAAD9 Optimo, Lightning White Fork: Six Ultra Carbon Blades Wheels: ROL Race SL Tires: Continental GP4000 w/Black Chili Pedals: Shimano PD-R540 Black Crank: Shimano 105 Compact, 34/50 Chain: KMC DX-10SC Rear Cogs: Shimano 105, 12-27 Bottom Bracket: Shimano 105 Front Derailleur: Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur: Shimano 105 Shifters: Shimano 105 Handlebars: 3T Ergonova Team, 40cm Stem: 3T ARX Team, 110mm -17 Headset: Integrated w/ 25mm alloy top cover Brakeset: Tektro R580 Dual Pivot Brakelevers: Shimano 105 Bottle Cages: 2009 Elite Custom Race (red on white) Saddle: E3 Form Gel (soon to be Selle SMP Stratos) Seat Post: Cannondale C2 Carbon-wrapped (will be 3T DORICO when it's released) Computer: Cateye Strada Cadence (soon to be Cateye V2c) No obligatory white garage door pic, white bikes don't show up well: http://home.comcast.net/~khatfull/images/keithsbike.jpg I'm still working on bar position so no, no cut steerer yet...eventually. Yes, the saddle is angled up but believe it or not that's where that E3 saddle is the most comfortable...it feels nothing like it looks. Comments welcome. |

I guess it is due to add a few more "I personally" find HOT since my last post on 5/7/09.

And finally, the last one for now. Almost posted the TCR above, but the wheels just hurt my eyes every time I look at the picture.

^^ I like it. Murdered out. Very hot. W/D, not so much.

I don't mind letting you posters on this thread know that I don't appreciate the plethora of white hot bikes recently featured herein. I've got ten, count 'em, ten bikes. Each one of them is suffering from deep depression induced by an insidious inferiority complex. Do you have any idea what my monthly bills add up to for psychological counseling for my stable of rigs? Financially, you are destroying me. Before today's long ride, I had to skip over 3 bikes before I found one confident enough to face the light of day. Stop the madness! I beseech you.

Very hot De Rosa.

Foresthill - that De Rosa is pure sex.:love:
