Do not black out the Cosmics, not only will it not look as good but it will probably hurt resale value!

Would it be really cheeky to ask you to black out the Cosmic decals on the wheels? Feeling they decals are a but much. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...xr/black-2.jpg |

Should we just change the title to "post black carbon bikes outfitted with deep section wheels and either dura ace or red"?
all bikes on this page r pretty fruity if you ask me, mine maybe the worst. Except for my chainkeeper, it's a work of art, and totally hot. |

ha ha lol etc. Actually you would be too far behind it for 1st hand observation. Until we hit a ten percent grade, at least. Then you would find me walking at roadside and begging you for ibuprofen. |

Throw out all of your road bike rules, this thing makes its own rules. Totally hot in my book

Thoughts on the new stem? Got the glossy black/red lettering to match the front end of the frame. It also fits so much better than the ritchey! |

I agree, although I'd never have thought the words "red stem looks good" would come from my mouth. Maybe you should pose the wheels so the two red spokes align with the fork. I also agree about the crank, or maybe I've just been seeing too many hollowgrams lately....
|
I like the cervelo but I find the white pedals distracting. Obviously, you don't see them much or at all while riding though. I think your wheels and overall look would be better if you swapped the red spokes for black and debadged the logo's. Also not a fan of the crankset. Doesn't mean its not an excellent crank, but aesthetically I'd rather see rotor or SRAM with a black chainring like praxis or something alike.
New stem looks great. Just the right amount to compliment and not be an eye sore. |
I wouldn't feel the need to change anything about the Cervelo - it's not overly busy, so the wheel logos don't bother me. The red spokes serve a purpose and I find them complementary. Hot.

Caad 10. Hot.

The stem looks perfect. Also is that the P6 HiFlex? If my frame didn't have an aero seatpost then I would be running that.

damn that is hot. always loved the green colorway of that frame. wheels are hot too- just enough flash, but still understated.

I'm asking because I dont know. what is the purpose fo the red spokes? |
Thanks for the suggestions- the wheel logos unfortunately are clearcoated so they can't be removed, but I can just cover them with a thin layer of vinyl like I did the rest of the wheel. They were busy before.
http://www.citybikesonline.com/media...d/1/_/1_16.jpg It's literally mere grams so it's not too bad. And as much as I like the crank, I know the color clashes with the bike. For the pedals, I keep going back to SPDs (blasphemy!), but I just plain love walking around every time I bike, so I'm on the look out for a super light set of SPDs now. My M520s are awesome, but 380grams! |
easy answer broski....exustar r200 titanium pedals. 88g each. I got mine for $170. They are compatible with the look cleats also. I LOVE mine
