Likewise.

chiefDave - Actually, I would like to put it up on my photoblog if you don't mind. You also mentioned Enve 6.7; that is about the only thing I can think of to make that bike look any better.

No worries man glad you like it. 6.7 would rock but not any time soon. Lbs service manager has a set for me to try knowing I would have to buy them. Stuff is like crack! Thanks

You must own a bike that looks like a pooping dog

New bike I got last Saturday, this was before I fully adjusted everything, I leveled the hoods back out to flat after this picture.
It needs different chainrings, those things are awful.

I can relate a little bit. Way nicer than my bikes, no doubt. But purely in terms of looks, the arc'ed top tube on those two Spec. kinda bug me. I have a far stronger negative reaction to the downtube on this:

I don't mind curved top tubes, but that is one ugly bike. It looks like it needs to lay off the big macs.

Yes it looks odd, I wouldn't ride it.

Maybe more like it was left in a camper shell in Ariz. for a week and warped from the heat. Here's the design from a year or two earlier, which is way nicer (IMO):

Hot...I removed the decals on mine, but I think the decals work on those wheels

Been a while since I posted my bike, I changed out the stem and bar with a stealth 3T stem and an 3T Ergonova LTD. a little under 15lbs.

Very nice, Rob.

Rear tire comments are coming since your domestique didn't line up the label and valve ;)

Haha, Yksions Grip Links got sliced, so I put the GPs on the rear.

Yeah, unfortunately you get points knocked off for mismatched tires. You also get dinged for the stand being visible.

I like the picture in spite of the busy background. The shallow depth of field makes it work.

As mentioned above I don't like the beefy head tube area. Bucking the trend, I like the fact that you've got a couple of spacers. It helps mitigate the beefy head tube issue.

I like your bike better than chiefDave's, but frankly I get bored with all the black bikes with deep carbon rims on this thread. I'm going to vote 'not' in spite of the obvious fact that your bike is hot.
