The Stealth Guru is super hot! The Bianchi is perfect.
I just built up this years race bike. FMO15 ISP, with a Sram s900 crank, the rest is just a bunch of spare parts. Spacers will be gone asap.

That's a pretty decent batch of spare parts.

No, this is a new bike. I got tired of the Incycle logos and the cover up was not working for me. So I got this and I'm selling the Caad 10. The cages are awesome, they're aluminum and they are called T-one and they are only 24g. Best part they cost $11.

This is from another forum, I absolutely love it!

A little over a year ago I placed an order with Ricky Feather at the Bespoked bike show at Bristol. About six months later Ricky invited me up to his workshop just outside of York to be measured for the bike and to discuss the build. I pretty much left it to him after that.
The idea was for an everyday bike that was a little more comfortable than my Enigma and to be for long days in changeable weather so fenders were a must. I told him how I liked the look of lugged steel frames of times gone by and knowing that Ricky builds exclusively with steel I knew he would take this on and add his spin to things.
He hand carved the Richards Sachs "Nuovo Richie" lugs and built the frame up using Columbus "XCR for lugs" tubing, the paint scheme is based on a really cool 1968 Porsche 911R custom built by Magnus Walker which I saw in a short documentary about Magnus called Urban Outlaw which was released whilst Ricky was building the frame.
The build is Campag Chorus, Nitto Mod 177 Noodle bars, Mick "Busyman Cycles" recovered Fizik Arione and bar tape with imbedded blue dots to match the theme of the frame paint scheme. I built the wheels using Royce hubs laced all round with a 28 hole 3 cross spoke pattern using CX-Ray spokes to join with the H Plus Sons Archetype grey anodized rims which are currently running Vittoria CX pro clinchers tyres with latex tubes. When the fenders are off I use 25mm FMB Paris Roubaix tubs on another set of wheels I built which are again Royce hubs but this time laced to Nemesis rims with CX-Ray spokes. The stem is a custom built Feather Cycles 17 degree, 120mm long nickel plated and brushed finished. Pinstriped Honjo 36mm fenders built into the standard drop brake setup completes the build.
I picked the bike up after this years Bespoked and have covered just under 3,000 miles since. It is such a sweet ride, I've barely covered 10% of the same distance on my Enigma since !!!
Anyway, enough waffle, pictures !!!

Wow, thanks you guys for the comments, I expected harsher comments 
Anyways, I haven't raced it, I'm just now starting to get back into it. Went for 20mi today, pretty fun ride! I'd like to race, or at least do some of the longer tours coming up next year in Colorado (RtR, BTC, etc.).
IthaDan, that's looking pretty sharp. I really wanted a pair of Shamals for my Bianchi!
Alextaylor, another sick bike...lugged steel is something special.

Sorry, not for me. Those bars are not attractive and I dont care for the geometry of the frame.

Hey guys,
This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while. My name is Thomas, and I recently graduated from UBC and UGR, now I work for Microsoft in Boulder, CO.
Without further ado, my Bianchi Eros road bike. It's a replacement for a Cannondale Synapse with 10s 105 components that got stolen while I was in school.

Mavic Exalith. They are pretty light for clinchers (1400g), stiff, and bullet proof. Great for all weather riding/racing and I am not sure they don't make up for their complete non-aeroness with the way they accelerate.

Definitely HOT. Exactly how a bike is supposed to be...stealthy and fast looking...Can't tell if the gold chain is trying to match the cabling or what, but I would've left the chain silver or black. Most minor of quibbles since you'll replace the chain eventually anyhow. What did this frameset weigh in at?
