Thought I would share a few proper pictures of the bike that replaced my Focus.

LaMere Carbon
Sram Force 22
HED Jet 6+
Vitt Gumwall tires
-14 degree stem
Fizik Saddle (Still debating on it as I have been testing others)

Pictures from after ride and after giving it a much needed bath.

I feel sorry for the rest of the bike - it seems so fine, but has to roll on those grotesque wheels. I don't mind the tires; it's the lettering that's offensive.

They're decals and can easily be peeled off...... please do so.

what saddle is that?

Specialized Power Pro

that saddle is tiny, is it stupid light? I'm sure it works well for you because you've had it on a few bikes, but it looks strange when there isn't an ass on it.

What a saddle looks like in a photo is meaningless(as long as it works well), but that looks odd.

It's actually super heavy at 206g, but I keep it because it's so comfortable. I have a 69g saddle at the post office that I need to pick up that I liked when I tried my friends, so I will be dropping a significant amount of weight with the saddle swap.

206g is fine if it's comfortable. I tried one of those CF saddles, and it felt great on my test ride.

It's crazy how good they are, if you have enough miles in you ass.

Know they aren't for everyone, they are team issued, but I have ordered the black decal version of them, just need to go pick them up on Monday. Thats the beauty of HED being a hometown company.

Here is how the bike looks with the black decals:

is that tour of kansas city? I was there last year while vising my mom. got my ass handed to me in the circuit race, but placed well in the crit.

nice bike. for me to poop on.

Nice bike! Gold chain? Where is your Trans Am!

Definitely looks better in that light and from those angles. Too bad the S_WORKS had to be so huge - it sort of spoils the otherwise groovy graphics.

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=516337Nice bike! Yes, the HED wheels are hard to miss. Almost like big fat white wall tires from the 1950s. Too bad that HED does not have ghost lettering like my Boyds

Yeah that would be really nice, They only make the black version that I posted above in which I am going with, cant wait to pick them up on Monday.

Sweet looking dale, what stem is that? What's the angle?

Pro vibe 7s with all the decals taken off. It's a 120mm - 10 deg stem.

This thread needs more vintage representation!

Neat bike, but you literally just broke every rule for this thread:

1. Non drive side
2. In the granny ring
3. Seat bag
4. Bottle
5. Tube stems not aligned
6. Pedals not aligned
7. No white garage door
8. Slam not stemmed

I could go on...

Funny, Post #1 has no specific rules other than to post a pic of a bike. I nailed it :)

If you mean the implied rules for photographing bikes, I get you - except that last one - "slam not stemmed". Even if you really meant "stem not slammed", that doesn't make sense to me 'cause slammed stems are clownish.

Wooosh!

Wow, you're so cool! I want to be just like you ;)

I personally think the bike looks great with the white decal wheels. But those black decal wheels look even better. HOT.
