I bet in person that Noah is a stunner but in pictures it just does not do it for me....

Here it is, back from the painter. A Giro/Baum inspired paint job, painted by Jack Kane of kanebikes.com.
A couple minor things to finish up... wire wrap the excess wires up front, chainstay protector. It was so easy to install and dial in the EPS system; it took more time dialing in the ZG brakes. I'll be taking it out for its first EPS ride tomorrow, and will take a much better pic out on the road.

Undeniably hot, even if overhwelming. Takes a pair to get out and ride on this one! 
You may want to add at least one water bottle cage....

That pink Noah is smoking hot (I had to put it up on my blog), though I can't help but think your De Rosa would have been a better choice for a Giro D'Italia themed paint job.

The pink bike deserves a proper Hot R Not picture.
Nothing unmanly about the color. I rock a pink bass guitar and the girls love it.

The pink thingy really doesn't do it for me and it's not just the shape. Sorry...this one is a not from me.

Throw the stick!!!!
Have to work on getting a better picture later. Had about five minutes to take pictures today, unfortunately I did not get any good shots. This was the best I managed.

Appreciate all the feedback. Maybe Fizik pink bar tape? 
Thanks. Yes it does have a pearl finish and it adds a nice depth to the color, especially when looking at it from different angles.
In regards to the warranty, I'm really not sure but it is something I will ask over on their facebook page when I get the chance to.

I am really digging the pink too. I am sure it looks 100x better in person. The ghosted Boras and EPS make for overboard drool-factor.

Best bike I have ever ridden. Only problem I have is that my knees keep hitting the aero handlebar when I stand to climb. I have a bruised knee because of it.
