Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Appreciate all the feedback.
Now that I've gone EPS with the Noah Pro, I'm planning to do the same with the De Rosa and build it up with Record EPS.

Ditto: Once they started doing the "squiggly" forks and seatstays, it made them slightly butt-ugly. Wiggo sure knows how to ride one though!

I like the BMC. Looks different and the splash of color looks cool. HOT.

...way down there!

I'm way up next to Lake Pleasant, on the upside, not a bad place to ride a bike.

better picture allows me to retract my earlier critique ref having tail dragged in a vat of highway striping paint...enough black plastic showing to warrant very nearly hot from me...

You may need to do the rough adjustment at home, then ride it for a little, then pay for the pro fit. Right now, as a beginner, you don't know what feels right or wrong... Just my .02.

It's not even the pink, the frame itself is just..... Hideous... It's like they turned a vintage frame and added a massive aero downtube.

you know, it's not nice to pick on other people's bikes.

That said, the placement of the wheel stickers adjacent to the valve hole is really bugging me.
