As a race bike, I rather like it; it's kinda hot. Normally I don't care for that frame style, and even though I generally despise those decals, I think you should have kept them if this bike is just intended for racing; they actually work for you here. But there's a time and a place for everything, and overall, as [MENTION=9607]redfooj[/MENTION] was suggesting, it would be sort of cartoonish if it was a bike you took on friendly group rides - even the most spirited ones - or rode around on for general purpose recreation.

My Tarmac in its latest incarnation. I think the updates from the last time I posted are: Quarq, Wifli, 11-32 cassette, and ee Brakes.

Last one to have arrived. More or less out of the box. Won't stay long like that. Ignore the pedals, it's a Salsa so it thinks it is a mountainbike ;-)
Can I have extra points for the matching back ground?

too much spacers, chunky and small cockpit, never seen seatstay attach above the top tube, platforms, gravel/dirt genes but road tires...

There's something going on with the rear deraileur, maybe it's just the gear it's in but looks like the chain is too short?
Bottles look mismatching too, points deducted! Black bottles would of looked better, especially if they had yellow stripes or highlights. Should have black cages too.
Zipp wheels and Zipp stem is a nice matching touch (bars too?)
Nice colour though, is it a solid or metallic yellow?

8/10. Needs black saddle and bartape and a different rear light that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
