Torn on whether to replace the cages with Arundel Mandibles or not.

Hot even with the non-Campy cranks... Looks all business. :thumb:

Hot and super classy. While I like the Wound Up fork crowns in abstract, there are few bikes it seems to look good with, and yours is one of the few where it really works. Looks awesome with the silver headset.

Merlin Extralight, Zipp 404 tubs glued to Veloflex, 10 speed cassette and downtube shifters. Dura Ace 7400 brake levers, Selle SLR saddle without its leather. 15.24 lbs

Dis good. I have a custom bike in 725 tubing coming in October that is getting the 10 speed + Dura Ace DT shifters treatment. Don't see any of those on the road ever.

What size chainrings?

Maconi 06-09-16 06:49 PM

Quick picture from the end of a ride. Breaking a few rules (chainring and etc.) but throwing this out there for now. I want to get the new Dura Ace Di2 on it eventually (whenever it finally comes out). Any suggestions?

IMHO unfortunately there's nothing that can turn a Roubaix/CGOBLR combination 'hot', but at least it looks functional, and the red is nice.

Thanks. The downtube shifters make me feel like I'm 15 again. They shouldn't be that fun, but they really are.

Sorry, just joking around. I'm not into those Zertz seatposts, but otherwise it looks like you have it dialed in to your fit and good to go for a wide range of riding with some really nice stuff.

Hah, yeah I leaned it up against the outside of my neighbor's fence (I think he was in the middle of cutting it hence the trimmings around the fence). :p

I know the Diverge probably won't win many beauty pageants but I'll be damned if I won't do my best to spruce it up the best I can (a better photography job probably wouldn't hurt either). :thumb:

Change out the seatpost and the stem, angle the bars down a little, could be hot. Color is hot.

Well updates call for a new photo I guess. Not the clearest photo but here it goes :) Put Enve 3.4 SES clincher set and went on a 90 mile 9500 feet climb. They feel amazing!

This bike is hot! I somehow doubt I would be able to get any bike that hot! The photo makes it look really nice! It suits. I would love to see a better picture of the bike though. What are the specs of the bike?

sevenmag 06-10-16 05:04 AM

The Felt is hot, and he has nice floors too.

That is some bike I definitely have to say! The better pictureakes it look really nice! Thanks for giving the whole specs! It must have cost some good amount of money but it was totally worth it as it appears in the photo! I have an addiction to Road bikes! I set my eyes on one I want and then I want another newer one and it goes on! How much miles do you do on it in an average month?

Thanks man!

Yeah I was very, very lucky to be able to put this together. When it comes to a healthy lifestyle, I seem to justify spending any extra coin I can put aside. Sure, you can be healthy with with a cheaper bike! I rode the crap out of my F75 before this one. But I can't deny how much more joy I get out of riding this one now!

I used to either finish or come close to finishing MTS challenges on strava which is 777 miles per month. Lately though I've been focusing on quality rather than quantity. I'm a tiny bit ahead of my goal which is 6000 miles per year which comes down to 500 miles per month. I'd say 420 miles of that is on this F1 the rest of it is commuting on F75.

That is a lot of miles still even though you didn't completely finish the challenges :) How accurate is Strava anyway? Like, is it good?! When you are ready you should increase your goal if you are going past it!

Wait! I need to ask something! I am a complete newbie with road bikes so don't judge me on it lol! Are your handlebars very low compared to your saddle or is that an intentional drop in handlebars?

Yeah honestly I feel like I'm getting stronger with shorter miles / times rides but with more intensity rather than long miles at a slower pace. So I don't mind it as much! I climb a good amount so that's good :)

Yes! My stem/handlebars are pretty much lowest they can go. "Slamming the stem" if you heard the term before. My saddle height has always been the same naturally and I had quite a few spacers under the stem when I first started cycling little less than a year ago. I was 83kg and not very flexible. As I rode more I lost a lot of weight and got more flexible so I recently slammed the stem. It feels great! Benefits are being in a more aero position obviously.

A Specialized employee's bike on instagram, this has to be the coolest Diverge I've seen yet, fully kitted out. Love the versatility of this bike, it's just as happy on a group ride.
