Hummm, something is not adding up here. Saddle too far forward and a long stem?:foo:

Pretty bike!

It's the way Focus design the seatpost, but the saddle is set up center where it should be. Running a 120mm stem.

Great photo. I suppose if it fits, it fits, but don't like the minimal saddle to handlebar drop - virtually none. And I've never liked that Thompson seatpost; it looks like it was bent by accident.

Maybe use a zero setback seatpost? Right now it does look visually "off" center, even though as you said it's centered.

I prefer functionality over aesthetic. The Concept CPX Plus post has a hollow section below the clamp mechanism and build to absorb vibrations. The bike is very stiff, so this really help on bad pave road section.

Fair and reasonable. It's a great looking bike. Unfortunately, in this thread, aesthetics often trumps functionality. :eek::D

That is pimp tight! Beautiful machine. One of the sexiest bikes here.

Very nice, hot ride! :thumb::thumb:

Great photo of a hot bike!

Gorgeous colors.

Good lord I'd like to see a build list for how you got it that light.

ditto's

I think this is a great looking bike even though light blue is not my thing. It must be a tiny bike to be sub 12. When I look at the chain ring, it looks like a 60 tooth because the frame seems so small. Overall great build though!

Sweet bike. Under 12lbs is a significant WW achievement. Not quite sure how you did it.

Supposedly a stock 54 with ultegra groupo weighs in at 15.6. Pretty good and shows opportunity to drop with some nice WW parts. Would like to see how this particular bike is sub 12 though. As it sits, I'm not noticing much that would drop from its original claimed weight other than perhaps it's a smaller frame, but even still wouldn't significantly change its overall claimed weight. Shimano DA is definitely not known for its WW bits on the scale.

I love this bike, gets a hot from me.

And the bar and hood angle.

I think it's pretty hot for an oxymoron.

I really like this bike.
Is that Matte paint? Or Gloss?
Would you post some more pics perhaps at different angles? This is one sexy looking ride.

Hasn't anyone noticed this bike is being held up by magic?
Seriously, how is this standing?

I did notice, and I thought perhaps the owner used tiny pebbles carefully stacked behind the wheels to precariously balance the bike for the shot.

Then I became concerned that a slight breeze might knock it over.

Can I play?

I see full Dura Ace 9000, Fulcrum Racing Zero wheels with Schwalbe One tires, Ritchey WCS C220 stem (120 mm?), Ritchey Superlogic Logic II handlebar, factory seatpost, Astute Skycarb SR saddle. China direct cages maybe? Not sure about bar tape and cables/housings.
