thoughts on saddle? I used to have a tioga twintail spyder, but it wasn't wide enough
I feel like this one isn't aesthetic enough

aesthetically speaking, I dont like it. try Romin evo pro. If you like the tioga but just wasn't wide enough, the Romin might just do it for ya

Adjusted to fit me like my fitted bike. The handlebar is 2 cm higher, even with a flipped stem and no spacers. but it shouldn't be a big deal. Might get an angled stem to compensate

Nope.

Otherwise hot. And I'm not a Cannondale fan.

The Spooky looks very purposeful. Hot.

I'm not digging the white bar tape on that bike.

I like this Marin, specifically the colors of the frameset; a better pic/background would do this bike some justice. Personally, I'd change the hoods to black.

You can never go wrong with a Spooky & EDGE/ENVE mix. Great looking build. HOT.

Spooky is hot. I like compact frames with traditional bars.

Jeepnut22 06-23-13 09:45 AM

Another Spooky for consideration.

Pic taken just after build up. Bars angled down, and one spacer under stem removed post fit adjustment...

I wish the bartape color matched the blue in the "Spooky" logo. Other than that, a hot bike.

Everyone has their own opinion, but TO ME that sounds absolutely AWFUL

Perfect the way it is. HOT.

It treads the line a bit, but a NOT for me. Love those tires though, amazing ride. I might suggest sealing the sidewalls, I didn't and they get quite dirty.

fried bake 06-23-13 06:21 PM

The S works could be better staged and photographed, as well. Hot with the previous tires, but not these.

echotraveler 06-23-13 06:28 PM

Imo deep carbon and a new saddle would make this hot across the board. :). Its still hot ;)

Not, though this bike has a lot of potential. Dont like the aesthetics of that saddle at all. cut steering tube and the red on that stem really stands out in a negative way. Dont like the veloflex gumwall tires on that frameset.

calgary_jim 06-23-13 07:14 PM

Ditch the tires and go w red or white tape.
