Looks hot. Line up the tire logos with the valve stem. Also, I like the zipp stem.

Take some acetone to that stem and you got yourself a pretty hot bike there! Not keen on the aesthetics of those bars and hood position, but thats my personal opinion.

I should say that this is the "before" shot. After some work and upgrades it looks like this now --->

Hot.

Pro Peloton in Boulder had the Tuscany hanging in 2005-2006 and I wanted it so bad. But way out of my price range. I ended up buying a magnesium Paketa, but I still love the Tuscany and Vortex. It deserves a better photo and a neutral background.

Sexy! ...then I saw the mirror. That's at least a couple of hot points there.

Like I said in post http://www.bikeforums.net/19346875-post23770.html Function over style. Great racing tool.

The saddle would have to be slammed back as far as physically possible on a straight post, and even then it might end up with less setback than it has now, depending on the post.

It's a pro bike from the Dubai Tour, I'm guessing this is a behind the scenes/rider lounge type area.

?? The saddle referred to appears to be pushed as far forward as possible. A straight post would appear could clamp in the middle of the saddle's rails.

Just finished last night. Need to route the rear brake cable to the NDS side but other than that, all she needs is a few rides to dial in the fit.

Great point, thanks! Still working on fore-aft — different STA and shorter cranks made transferring my numbers over from the other bike a little wonky for me. My guess is there will ultimately be a little more setback than pictured.

Hard to say. Those photos are so "not," and unfortunately the bike looks like its just part of the clutter there.
