No vinyl for me.

Yep, no vinyl for you! And while I am a fan of minimal, I'd like some sort of flourish. As martinus offered, a deeper wheelset with some sort of logo might do it. Usually, those are overdone for my tastes, but that's in part because almost all frames already have a lot going on. Not yours! Kudos there.

So yeah, I am suggesting that you buy a $2,000 set of carbon wheels as a flourish :)

My new Trek Domane 2.0.

I'm really not sure how to feel about this, but I do know that this bike deserves better tires.

Not, although I hear they ride nice.

ASide from the saddle, that thing is scorching hot! The bike has so sleek lines yet the saddle is so bulky. Go fiz'ik arione or a selle Carbonio SLR. Marvelous looking bike and very very unique.

Yes, the Look is unique...

Mighty Awesome Bike.

Yes, Yes, Yes love it.

+1, and the valve caps got to go!

even though it's very non-traditional, it is pretty frigging snazzy IMO :thumb::thumb:

What's wrong with Gatorskins? My main concern is reliability and comfort since I do a lot of long distance riding. I have just gotten on flat in over a year or riding them and that time the liquid you put in them was enough to let me re-inflate and ride back home. And they ride pretty well on 25mm so it's not like I am losing anything.

Hot. It'd be a 10/10 if you swapped the saddle, paint the brake cartridge bolts, and scratch off/paint over the stem logo. Not a big fan of the spoke pattern, but this is just being really picky.

It is funny that you mention it_ that is the exact same saddle i am getting for it. I did have an Arione but started to bother me a lot no matter what and I decided to try something with a cutout. The Arione VS didn't work out and this Selle Gel flow is the best, most comfortable saddle I have had. But then I knew that the Carbonio SLR was out there and since it is lighter and has the same cutout I am getting one pretty soon so this one will go on my fg bike to replace the other Arione.

Thanks! The saddle will be replaced with a Carbonio SLR but I really would not mess around with the paint/ screw around with the warranty...

'62 Continental in Coppertone! Can you say HOT!

Gatorskins aren't bad tires, but on a high end bike I'd rather see something like Veloflex Corsas, Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CXs, or Challenge Stradas. Gatorskins ride fairly poorly for the sake of flat protection.

I love that Look 675. Hideous saddle, however.

Maybe I will try one of those after these are worn out. I have heard good things about the Veloflex and Vittorias. Thanks for the suggestions!

While the tires that Young Version mentioned are superbe, there is nothing wrong with going with some michellin Pro4 Race or Continental GP4000s either. I don't think I could fork out $100+ a tire when I can get them for $35 and they are pro quality tires...

Not a fan, sorry. Never liked that frame

LOL, have you tried the hardshells ?
