2001 Aegis Aro Svelte
 
I recently upgraded my 2001 Aegis Aro Svelte that had a 9-speed Dura-Ace/FSA blend to 11-speed Di2 Dura-Ace/Ultegra/FSA blend. I sprung for old-man's gears (34/50, 11-32) this time around instead of the more standard gearing (39/53, 12-27) I had originally.

That TT/HT/DT junction is... yeah, it doesn't do it for me.

It looks a bit odd mainly because the frame is small. It's a 48cm.

What's odd is the way the centerlines of all three tubes seem to intersect at a point, which makes the junction look weak.
I was wondering whether that was a common condition of that particular model, so I did an image search. It revealed a number of other images of the same model with the same condition, but then again, many of those images seem to be yours. :)
Also, with a little consideration of geometry, it becomes clear that, given a fixed wheel size, this condition becomes practically inevitable with shorter top tubes.

For a stock machine, I like it. Hot.

Not, the Asian girl in the back is obviously not giving your bike any attention either :D But honestly, the head tube just looks weird on this bike.

Very striking. Although the saddle and seat post seem incongruously blobby and the bottle cage shapes are over-complicated, overall I'd give it a solid Hot.

Or the saddle pushed back.

I was working with the assumption that the saddle was positioned correctly for his fit, and the post was not.

Posted a pic of my bike a year ago but it just looked so good after a wash tonight. Love the pink! Excuse the fact that it is on the small chainring and the position of the the crank arm...we all make mistakes...

Looks great. But I agree, about the saddle/seatpost.

I think you need to wash your camera lens too.
