Haha, I even tried searching for the jpg name once I found that but still no dice. Damn you internet!
If any of those reds were slightly different, I'd say not, but they match perfectly and it works. The bike would be "hotter" though if the fireplace was on.
I now understand the colors of the other bike, you were trying to match this bike...that said, still not my style and still mcdonalds-ish. But that's just like, my opinion man. Also, you're funny and seem to get far too upset at random people on the internet. And because of that, we thank you!

Updated my 03 Litespeed Arenberg. Swapped the wheels from my Kuota, and got rid of the 105 triple groupset for full Ultegra. I got the entire groupset for under 350 bucks. I would have liked a more up-to-date groupset, but I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Aesthetically; the stem is too short, the saddle is too forward, and my skewers are all jacked up, but it fits. The hoods also look a little strange. I might have to play with them a little.

I'd hate to have to close this thread. Really would.
You guys better let it go, don't care who or what started it, just let it go and get back to normal.

Thanks. You are probably right. My wife's bike also has an early version of the 6700, and she has the same chainrings on hers. I don't know what they are, except for the brand.

Ok...so after my last post...which was summarily widely regarded as not hot....here is the before and after since today's visit to VeloSwap...
Before:
And after...
I think I want to go to black tape...red was the only thing I had in the garage and the old black stuff was trashed. And if I do that, not sure about the white saddle.
