personally, my take on the Cervelo is "plenty nice"....even though the brand is not my fave, this example is adequately subdued...
the spacer stack is my only real issue...
if the 17 degree stem works best for you, i'd live with it...what are you going to do, switch it out every time you update on this thread?

If you wanted to look into an inexpensive brake caliper purchase, you could look into Planet X. These were $109. When installed properly, I find them comparable to my ultegra calipers I had on prior.

I have seen a couple hot treks, but it takes A LOT more than a stock set up to make a trek look good IMO

I don't know how it can be done.
I was at the Race Village for stage 1 of AToC, and a buddy and I stopped by the Trek P1 trailer and every frame was hideous.
Maybe they intentionally put the ugliest bikes possible out or something, but I didn't see one that I liked.
I did, however, like one particular shade of blue used on part of one bike...

I'm looking for it but cant find it. There is an all black trek madone that I think is on this forum that is really sexy. This trek below is an example of what I would consider Hot. There are only a handful of hot treks in this world so they are hard to find lol. I'd ride this one though

My bike doesn't belong in here but I'm tempted to put it in just to see what people would critique and what they'd replace it with.
There needs to be a "What would you replace on my bike?" thread in the 41.

Thanks for the heads up. I am about 5'9, inflexible.. Therefore decided on a smaller frame. The top tube is 51.5,wondering if I Should be looking at a bigger frame or getting a longer stem.

I'm in love with this for the mere fact that I also own that colorway RS. Are those debadged assaults? Funny because I have a set of attacks waiting to go on the bike as well.
I agree with bianchi. That 3t dorico post has always been ugly to me, and the offset doesn't work with me either.

I'll comment in it. Maybe post it as the "OFFICIAL, what would you change on my bike?"
