Just went and tried on some Specialized shoes at the LBS today. Had them order me the 2013 S-Works in white/black. Should arrive ten days - can't wait!! These are gonna blow my current shoes outta the water! Buy now, cry later...

Smokin Hot!!!

Are those the new 2013 Boyd 44s? I've been curious what they looked like as I haven't seen any yet other than a small dark pic on the site. If so, how do you like them? Thinking about a pair.

As for this bike. HOT x10

I love my 70-200 f/2.8L as well. I'd love to have the II IS.
And don't get me wrong. I really want a full frame body. It was down to the 5D2 and the 7D when I was buying a few years ago. I ended up getting sold on the 8fps of the 7D. I short more action/sports than portraits.

It's not all in the lens, but you don't need a large sensor to get nice bokeh.
I have the new 40mm on my Amazon wish list. Just haven't pulled the trigger. (Also have the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 on there. LUST!)
I shoot wide open or f/2.0-2.8 on the 50 all the time. If I can handle a smaller aperture, I switch to either my 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 or 24-105mm f/4L.

I tend to agree. The picture of my Giant in my sig was shot with my 100 f/2.8L macro. (Of course it's really 160mm equivalent on my 7D.)
And remember the 50 on my crop sensor is closer to 85mm. So it might work better than I think.

My favorite lens is the nikon 35 f/1.8 dx. It's a fun lens to shoot with.

I really love the 100 f/2.8L IS macro. I use it as my main lens now, actually sold off my 16-35L, 24-70L and even my favorite 70-200L IS. The weight of the 100 2.8L IS makes the 5D much easier to carry around. My most recent shot of the Allez was shot with the 5D and 100 2.8L IS.

My 100mm f/2.8L IS macro is my go to portrait lens. Definitely the sharpest in my bag. The IS is amazing for macro work.

You guys need to quit wasting so much money on expensive lenses and wasting more money on cycling goodies...or take the conversation to dpreview dot com...

Actually they are the 58's with ghosted decals...I have another set of their 58's that I've put about 12,000 miles on..Love em!

And yet you wasted your 24th post in nine years to complain about that? :lol:

Bottle Cages
 

This was posted a long time ago, but does anyone know what kind of bottle cages these are?

new wheelset - yay or nay on covering up some of the decals? I found out they weren't removable so I just covered over them with some "carbon fiber" vinyl.

Love it! Hottttt!

@ ips0803 - Nice bike. Are those H+ Son wheels?

My gonads do not agree.

I would leave the decals uncovered, not because the decals are cool, but because they can not be removed.

And I am afraid that this otherwise hot bike is suffering a major case of non road pedals. With a pair of dura ace pedals or speedplays this would be hot.

thanks! Did you mean because of the weight of the cover-up decals? they were just too busy for my taste.

Also, I tried the road pedal route for awhile, and just could not do it. I often walk around (a lot) mid-ride everywhere so the SPDs make life so much easier.

Here is a revised pic of my Argon 18 Gallium Pro. Saddle bag now removed, new water bottle cages and chain on big ring. Sorry but I still have an erection with the cadence sensor...

They are indeed. 32/32 White Ind & Sapim laser build.

I just got the bike built up so no reviews yet on the rims

working my way slowly to 25...I forgot this forum existed for 8 years and nine months...
