Thanks mate, I'm pretty stoked with it. I have another foil being built up as we speak purely for racing on, same frame just last years premium model with some lower spec components.

Last years team issue was Matt black and green but the green was Matt too. This years is gloss green and Matt black with a few subtle areas in gloss black too. Looks better in the flesh although it does look well in the pics I've taken. The manufacturer images do not do the bike justice whatsoever.

I saw a dude in a race last week riding the RIO edition Foil and that is one of the best most badass bikes ive ever seen.

Love it, would look so right with DA 9000.

hey thanks! the current groupset is a mix of new and used force, mainly because it's familiar... I'm not completely sold on shimano- lots of other people seem to be though

Very very nice but it does indeed deserve better pics :thumb:

Took these pics for another thread, figured I'd see how they fare in the oven.

The Allez Sprint is hot

allez would be perfect if you could find checkered bar tape to match the fork

I think this is a great idea.

I really like this bike and considering it's basic style I find unappealing it a hell of a compliment. I normally don't care for frames with seat stays lower than the top tube and areo seatpost/seat tubes but the ones I do like I always really really like, your bike fall into the really really like category. The only thing that I would say takes away from the overall appeal of the bike is the seat look unproportionally short for the aero seat post.

Hot, minus the tires. Would look so much better with a solid black tire. Love the fork, and even the white bar tape looks good on there.

not

What's going on there?
Why is the end of the handlebar bright, and what's that on downtube? Looks too small to be a bottle, but it has some sort of tube or cord coming out of it. Some interesting ideas there... bright nipples on dark spokes and rims, red pedals and gold housings with army green frame, strange colored saddle....

Frankenbike.

Actually, the frameset looks pretty cool. I'd love to have that to build up a beater gravel bike or commuter.

I like the set up. Aggressive and clean. I'll still give it a hot, but for a very rare occasion I feel all black tires would look better here. In my personal opinion, the white and the yellow clash a bit for aesthetics purposes. I dont usually care for black saddle and white bartape or visa versa either, so that is a distraction for me. But overall, nice bike for sure!

I guess a bike for dirt roads counts. My rig for Dirty Kanza:

Have you seen his wheel thread? Dude has more money in spare tires than most people have in their bikes. Not to mention the like 20 pairs of carbon wheels he has.

Thanks! Yours is pretty smokin' as well. Love the purple & zebra w/ eTap. So hot. :thumb:

You know I considered that, but I think it might have made it a tad too busy for my tastes.

Thanks for the resounding endorsement!

I get what you're saying about the saddle, but it's probably the best saddle I've ever owned in terms of comfort.

Tanwalls seem to be an either/or issue for a lot of people. Coke/Pepsi, Democrat/Republican, Mac/PC... Personally I like the aesthetics of both, regardless of the bike they're hung on. Although, on deep aero wheels, I tend to prefer the tanwalls to break up all the blackness.

As for white tape/black saddle, I always prefer white tape - but I dislike white saddles. They show wear more rapidly and nothing makes a bike look more haggard than a well-worn, off-white-colored saddle.

With this frameset, I think the white tape helps to accentuate the checkered fork, while the saddle blends in with the predominantly black back end of the bike.

And thanks for the "hots"!

Well I finally got the race bike built up so here is my current summer garage.

Bike for best: Scott Foil RC 2017 (left) & Race bike: Scott Foil Premium 2016 with Dura Ace 7900 & Rotor 3D Power2Max (right).

Both ride dreamily but the new DA is a different league.

Would look better with gumwalls and a gold chain :D

For once I try to stay away from gumwalls and gold chain and it backfires... :lol:
