Haha, that's exactly what I have heard too. I originally set out for the corsa tire but after I was told about how fragile they were, I lost interest but still wanted a yellow/gumwall. These were thebkast 2 available at my LBS so I went with it. I don't regret it one bit. I'm head over heals in love with this bike, so it will work for me.

2009 R3SL, Record 11.

Poorly staged, over cooked the flash… whatever. I'm not sure I'll keep the Thompson post, and have the Ti post on the way. Kind of like it, kind of want a different look too. Also, I'm pretty sure I'll slam the stem, but since I can't put weight on my left arm yet, this is the most comfortable on the trainer.

1st - cool bike.

2nd - WAAAAY too much billboard.

Are you trying to hide your spacers, ravenmore?

Aside from matters of personal taste, there isn't much to complain about with the bike, but you get points off for the pose and clutter.
That said, I normally prefer color to solid black, but there's something about this kind of plain black and blue on a bike that just totally turns me off. Desperately needs some white. And as bowed frames go, this one isn't too bad.

This hits the HOT category for me! Cervelo with Campy and Speedplay.

while not hot, I think it is a good looking bike. I like the blue and I especially like the metallic blue bar tape.

I do think its a is a good looking bike, however I am not a fan of the silver stem nor the gold cables. As for the seatpost, I'd go Ti, I had one on my Lynskey and it looked really good, but the black works as well.

Everything screams hot aside from the stem really...

I agree. Remember 2ndGen? His GF painted his Enve decals black. That's what I wanted to do. And the old black stealth wheel decals looked better.

But then I crashed and broke the R3SL. I got a new bike, fixed the R3SL, and stopped caring so much.

An oldie, but a goodie. :love:

OP has outstanding taste in equipment: R3SL (one of the orig WW frames), swapped-out Wolf fork for Enve, SR11, Enve wheelset, ZG brakes, etc.

Would love to see some boutique-y cables and housings here, too.

Multitude of demerits here, but frickin Outstanding!

Thanks. I love the bike. Before the powertap and with the tubulars, it was under 6kg. Frame weight with the collar, bolts, and der hanger was 850g. And it's comfortable and as stiff as my BMC.

i am torn over the stem... at some point in the future I'll be able to save about 150g by switching out the stem and bars. I did want to give it a go since sometimes I really like the look, but other times I want something a little more subdued. In better light it does look good, however.

I did did fix the housing at the rear dérailleur, as well as the b tension. Looks a lot better to me. I'm tempted to leave the Thomson alone for now, since my seat is perfect. ​

I'd do a black stem to match the seatpost, personally.

+1

How'd you guess. ;) Actually a lot of the spacers are going away soon. It's a new bike and I'm dialing in the fit - as well as trying to get more fit.

Yeah black decals would minimize it - still a sweet bike.

Nice, but RD cable is a bit loopy. Looks like it could catch on something.

Yeah, I noticed it after the pic and fixed it. Needed to adjust b tension so I could get a 90° insertion. Was able to trim about 4". Still a bit long, but much nicer.

My new ride :)

Rotate those handle bard down forward a bit.

Looks like something out of 80s Tron. So...hot.

HOT, but, it's a Canyon Aero bike?

I can only think of this:
