Well, you could also put a setback post on there, rotate it around 180 degrees and get the saddle even further forward...

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.

Also for the pics, line up the cranks in line with seat tube. 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.

Didn't realize how washed out the photo would come out on the phone's camera! And the road bike is definitely not hot with mismatching everything so I will spare y'alls eyes

kyamei- great looking bikes you've got there. For me, the Scott Foil is HOT.
androidtt- I'm sure the photo critics will want a better pic. Either way, HOT.

Just waiting for a Chorus 11 cassette since the Recon cassette I have doesn't fit the "universal" freehub.
Btw, props
to Nick for helping me out with my Noah Pro project. I'm sending it out next week for its custom paint job and it was Nick's photoshop that made visualizing what the finished project would be so much easier.

I built it up towards the end of the summer as my N+1, the alternate to my Noah Pro. I use Recon cassettes because I like the gold-ceramic finish, along with KMC's X11 gold chain. But these new wheels have a "multi-sys", "universal" freehub that accepts cassettes from Campagnolo, Sram, Shimano. Since Recon designs their cassettes with additional guides to fit all the splines on Campagnolo only freehubs, it wouldn't fit the new wheels.
