You said to flame away...I don't want to be offensive, but it's pretty much just a stock road bike. There aren't really any upgrades to it that make it pop for me. Also, the background is busy, so it's hard to see the details of the bike. And my biggest pet peeve, valve stems aren't aligned with the tire labels.

I think you've done a fine job of updating this bike. Totally dig the 105 group with the new blue color and the wheels compliment the frame well.

It's a lot of pink.

This is the kit, throw in the pink POC helmet and gloves, plus socks and it's like an ice cream truck threw up on me.

My Steel Ride

Here's my mid 90's Tange Prestige Chrome steel frame with original Shimano 600 Ultegra group, some Oval wheels and bars, and a BRC Carbon fork. It really does ride like a dream and not too heavy to enjoy at about 21 lbs as you see it.

Please post a bigger picture and turn the bike around so we can see the drive side.

Serotta Legend TI Sti....maybe a 2004

That is a hot frame, but the build as a whole is not IMO. A couple things:

- The positive rise stem
- Big stack of spacers
- The handlebar / shifter position

I know comfort comes first, but this is a thread about vanity :)

Argon 112E
 
I bought this bike last year and due to illness have only had the opportunity to ride it a few time.
I had big dream of doing a lot of races. I pretty muck upgraded every thing on this bike.
The bike was in a shop where the customer returned it to the store.

turns out it had mixed 10speed and primarley 11speed components. I had a good friend that did my fitting and put on ultegra components mixed with dura-ace. Aero bars were upgraded to profile design carbon with gel pads. New bar tape fast tires and wheels.

I later put on xlabs rear hydration system and

Have to go with not. A time trial bike should have some drop between the saddle and the handlebar, like this:

Just cosmetics for advertising to sell bikes... not for real world application for comfort. :lol:

Get that seat up or stem down and it's hot! I find it hard to believe you can have your leg nearly fully straight at the bottom of your pedal stroke, or that you can be all that aero.

I ended up with a Cervelo P3, but love the look of the Argons. No dealers around me though, so I couldn't really test one. No regrets though - the P3 rocks.

Just finished building it up - still need to add bar tape but wanted to go ahead and post. I'm thinking red tape on the bull horns and black on the extensions, or vice versa. Not sold on the red seat but thought it would add a splash of color. I'm happy with the seat to bar drop. :)
