The GURU wins even while violating the staging rules. Nicely done. The Cinelli would benefit from a different photo angle; very close though

I'd like to see the Guru from some different angles. Plus the derailleur cable is a little long for me and somewhat distracting 
Looks like it'll be hot when we see the other angles though

The Guru seems to have been staged perfectly to avoid showing off the stem erection 
Still a very nice looking bike.

Ah thanks yes very nice the guru is! Still think the derailleur cable needs to be shorter though ( heck it's not a SRAM derailleur after all )

Well...everything is evolving...slowly.
Not shown in this pic is that I recently added some 6800 pedals, but that really makes little difference overall. Either way...its a work in progress.
So..any closer to "hot"?

As seemingly functional as that seatpost claims to be it will probably never get approved in this thread.

Does my CAAD10 w/105 and Ultegra belong here or in the poverty section?

It's not a $10,000 rig, but it gets me by.
I adjusted the saddle and made the RD housing longer, looks better now but rainy outside. The only thing left to want is a power meter, gray Ultegra brakes and a DA RD are on the way.

How is your chain in the big ring on top and small ring on the bottom?
