I knew it beein a trek and all that the lower 41 was gonna run with that. Once weather gets nice I will stage according to subsection 41eh of rule 414141 and post nice pictures.

Colt, nice TCR but guess you and me will be in finishing school same time, your in small sprocket up front, yo pedals upside down and your valve stems not lined up with fork! To top it off you got no bananas, get some coolers eh they's kool. Nice bike even if it's not a Shrek!

Not because it's a Trek and not because it's neon green... it's because of the tall HT, tall stack of spacers and the upturned stem which contributes to (possibly) a saddle-to-bar rise instead of a drop.

Well done on the Giant. I don't usually like white bikes, but that contrast is great.

Thats what I have on each of my road bikes, along with the LTD ergonovas...I went cheap(er) on this one - went with the pro all the way around as I wasn't all that concerned with weight. But yes, I was thinking the same thing. Could probably swap it out for future photos, haha.

Hehe, I'm tempted to find an old pair and see what happens. I guess I could wear them while riding the bike and be a super hipster or something. Last summer I fell in love with the Strato of the same design, but my size had sold out by the time I had the money together for the frame. When I saw this come out this year, I knew it was time to build up a nice fixed gear. It'd be a lot cooler if we had a track in Phoenix or somewhere nearby, but I'm sure it'll get enough use as my screw-around/ride-to-breakfast/bar bike. I might try commuting with it on occasion too.
The strato:

I read this and was confused, so I googled Arion...
...and came up with Alchemy bikes. Kind of crazy. I still don't know if you were talking to me or just seeing into the future for the next bike that was being posted in the thread.
