Are we done or would you like to continue and, per usual, tell me that I just like to argue when, per usual, you're stirring and perpetuating?

For some reason, I like the Easton decals on that bike. It certainly mimics the theme of the bike.

Guilty as hell but it's always somebody else, not him.

So telling someone not to sweat the bike ridicule of anonymous internet denizens is now a bad thing? Um, okay, Billy.
The componentry of his bike is just fine and any criticism would be directed at fit-related issues and/or brand bias. For someone that often disparages the silliness of this thread, I find it funny that you'd pick out a comment that advised him to take the criticism with a huge grain of salt. Then again, you've got a hard-on for me so I guess that it shouldn't be too surprising.

Good photo setup.
The bike is acceptably hot, but that's just me.

I just want to say that as a whole, I hate Red chainrings. Other than that, this bike is excellent. I think this is one of the few Specialized bikes that I would love to own.
