Thank you all very much.

I've had the Rails for a bit and they are truly all that. The electric is new to me, and so far, I like it. The bike itself feels pretty sporty, but the weather isn't real conducive for a real ride yet.

I can't tell, but are the stem spacers tapered? HOT Bike!

I was referring to Selle Italia and used the shortened version that I would with friends. And yes, actually they are a saddle manufacturer. But that wasn't my point at all… it was that there are a lot of people who would put a saddle manufactured by a saddle company on their bikes but not one built by another bike manufacturer.

And his point was that there is no company called "Selle". There is "Selle Italia", "Selle SMP", "Selle San Marco" among many more. In fact, "selle" is just Italian for "saddle."

Again, thank you all kindly!

Standard spacers, with no taper. Roller ride last night, and the electric was quite easy to get used to.

<sigh> Yes, I got it. Yes. Ok. Registered. And I even knew the meaning of the word Selle in Italian.
I just sometimes forget that the middle name of this thread is 'pedantic'… :thumb:

That Alize is threatening to awaken my bike lust that's been dormant for the better part of a year.

LAJ 02-27-14 08:22 PM

Thanks guys. Rode it to work today so I wouldn't look like a total noob on the team ride. It's bad.

Hot. I don't actually like the red bottle cages or housing, but all the other tiny matchy bits are nice

Pardee Z5 hot, red bits okay but nearly too much. Everything's better with carbon wheels.

I'm a big parlee fan, but I'd say the red bits are too much. I'd definitely change the bottle cages, lose the valve stem caps, and go to black pedals. I hate that 3T seatpost from a functional standpoint. I've got one in my garage and literally can't give the thing away. The newer 3T stems are a lot better. All this being said, if you like it, it's hot.

Bingo... Ditch all the red, throw some 60's on that puppy, get that stem pointed in the right direction and let the HOTS begin !!
