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

aesthetically its a bit off putting, but its still got plenty of clamp area so I am not in a hurry to replace it. Much more important things i want to put money aside for like a road wheelset.

Are you kidding? It's the best looking thing about your bike, and pretty sweet if you ask me. Instead of a plate balancing on a bent stick like the other Focus above, you have something more unified, harmonious and purposeful looking - a nice, strong arching line all the way from the bottom of the seatpost to the back of the saddle, with the rails simply bracing the cantilevered front.

Do you have dead-flat cyclocross courses in your area? Bizarre.

I have hesitated posting here but decided what the heck. I ride on the road, so technically I guess it is a road bike. Yes, it looks like a messenger bike, that is alright with me. Most people here are riding full suspension Wal-Mart BSO's with slammed seat posts. Love being different. I don't have a white garage to post in front of, so the hallway of my apartment building will have to do.

Not gonna lie, it projects raw speed to me. I like it. In a "nextdoor neighbour hot" kind of way

The "other Focus above" is a very different bike: hailandkill's gray Cayo Evo.

Ahh ok, stupid me. I completely missed it because it was repainted.

Here we go I took of my conti speed's and threw on the conti 4000's for some road action. Yes, it's not an official road bike but it's my road bike :thumb:

According to the OP, they had "forgotten" to put on a cassette prior to taking the picture... Still though, pretty cool bike!!!

Yay Spookys! I also have 2; Skeletors.

Just built up NOS SST frame from 2011. Got it for a crazy low price. Pulled the Force off my Altamira for use on this bike and found a killer deal on a take off Ultegra group for the Altamira. All other parts I already had save for the bottle cages and Garmin mount. Very much an impulse purchase but I'm very happy with it. Totally different feel from the Altamira.

Thanks for the clarification.
