^^^ HOT.The blue accents add just the right amount of contrast. Nicely done.

I like a bit of color (just not Bella Donna). That blue is very well played.

I'm gonna brave the HrN with the new bike. Just finished building it up today. Was originally going to go with black rims, but Velocity was out of black so I went with blue.

But forget about his black tape suggestion, your bike == HOT! |

err, Not. Waaay too much RD cable. Saddle pushed too far forward, otherwise a nice Ti ride.
Kind of agree on the saddle position, but to be fair the bike was just built. |
Yeah Sram loves a big loop. Some cables if they are stiff will not shift properly with a loop smaller than that.

Don't apply logic in this thread.
What's that building in the background? |

What********************?? The seat is already slammed foward. Why in the world would you then switch to a set back seat post?
yeah. sorry....i'm a bit out of it right now. Then I officially hate that bike with the fire of a thousand suns. Happy? |

Well, you could also put a setback post on there, rotate it around 180 degrees and get the saddle even further forward...
|
I've seen that! it looks horrible lol
|
I don't know why the saddle looks so far back in the pic. It's close to centered on the rails and a little bit in front of the clamp markings.
|
This thread looks like a good way to get some pointers on prettying up the bikes, so have at it.
*I just installed that stem on the Scott, forgot to fix the bar position before taking the pic. And yes, speed sensor erection was necessary on the Wilier. http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/8973/img1161em.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9028/img1165r.jpg http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9937/img1160tw.jpg |

I would normally have mentioned the too long derailleur loop but I saw a few posts ago that this was required for smooth SRAM shifting (one more +1 for Shimano in aesthetics :)) Also a suggestion on the Garmin sensor erection. Go to ebay and purchase an icarus spoke magnet. it bonds to the spoke and should give you enough clearance to lower the arm, It worked beautifully on my Ridley and I've seen at least one Willier where it worked cost about $6 oh yeah, don't forget to line your valve stems perpendicular to the ground. Either way, I'm going hot on all three nice job! |
Kyamei,
Yes, all hot bikes! Out of curiosity, do you distinguish between the types of riding you do on each bike, or do you just like having different bikes? I mean, they all seem to be set-up to do the same thing, but I'm not particularly well versed in different road disciplines; maybe the Cervelo is geared more for spring training and hills? Just curious, and certainly I'd like to have three such handsome bikes in my stable, too! Nicely done. |
All three bikes have the same wheel?
