Uh, sorry, been a long day, and having a pretty killer cold does not help. Ugh. That is a killer bike. I have never heard of a smartweld version though.

Thanks. It's a 2015 Allez Race, it was flat black and white like every other bike now and days.

Hey, I'm an old man and I need all the help I can get.

And a light bike does make a difference. The Emonda is 14# and my CX bike is 20# and can feel it when climbing.

Surely you're out for a gravel ride as two bottles on a CX bike is reprehensible.

Odd the way the top tube slopes down to the head tube.

Yes, i know about the "one cage on the seat tube" rule for CX racers, but I bought it as a foul weather bike and i'm waiting for the back ordered 32mm tubeless tires to arrive and i'll remove the 35 knobby. I've already done a 60 mile ride on it and needed the second cage.

This one is hotter. Just realized, though - looks like you're jamming the front tire in that expansion joint; be careful!
Meanwhile, not being built for speed, I'm wondering if the geometry/set-up might be a little more racy than it needs to be.

How is a Stigmata not "built for speed"? It's one of the benchmark CX bikes, built specifically for cross, it's a "race bike".

For cross, whatever, but for real speed, those gears.... :rolleyes:

Great lines and what could have been a great color scheme ruined by the cluster**** of lettering and logos wrapping around all the tubs this way and that. Also camo bar tape is barf.Damn. Also, damn. Color is glorious. Hot.Not. Don't care for the wheels, nor that weird stem/headtube concoction. Looks weird. Also if you want to wrap your bars like a track bike, get a track bike.
