Gary,

You'll definately have to take a few more pictures with the Zipps on there once you get them... :thumb:

I've never really liked Roubaix(s?) until this one. What group is that?

This is hot too.

not really a big fan of this. it's nice but a little boring i think. ti seems to always be paired with black. It's classy i would say but not hot.

I've never been a big fan of the Roubaix either, purely from an aesthetic(superficial) perspective. I always thought the zertz inserts ruined the lines of the bike and something always looked slightly unbalanced about it.

This one is fantastic looking.

Giant have come a long way since I first owned them. Very nice.

The Zipps will live on the HSG for now.........:love:

From an S-Works Tarmac to a Roubaix? Getting a little long in the tooth, are we?;)

Oh yea. In fact the Roubaix hangs right next to my TI walker and Geritol collection

What wheels are those on the Giant?

Titanium walkers are so 90's:rolleyes:.

Carbon fiber is the only way to go.

wow!

Hi,

I haven't seen a Pogliaghi since the early 1980s. Hot.

Are the wheels 1.45's or 1.38's?

Tell me more about your Kestrel. But only good things. I just ordered the 2009 version, black, white and orange, all Dura Ace. Arrives Monday.

i would have responded sooner, but the drool shorted out my keyboard

Well, the Paramount is the cat's meow. As a OF in training I must say that to my too experienced eye a compact frame is never beautiful. Compact frame with bent top tube is less so. Bent top tube and weird wiggles in the seat stays... bleah. Airfoil shaped carbon with the rear tire apparently passing the seat tube. Godawful looking. These bikes are probably all wonderful rides and most assuredly have really impressive price tags. Hot looking? A few perhaps but most of them have been hit with the serious ugly stick in the name of either performance or just trying to stand out in a crowd. My cheap MB aluminum bike looks better to me than most of the bikes here but it certainly won't make anyone ooh and aah and I am not likely to pass any of you unless someone throws us both off a cliff.
