Looks good. I'll give it a Hot with a few notes.
The cages are too bright. I don't like the crankset. The hoods are ugly. Your steerer tube is killing it, but you knew that.

black cages, rotate the bars up a little bit, cut the steerer and I'd call it hot. I can get over the red hoods. The wheels are super deep, do you live in FL?

Imo...the tires actually work with the stripe on the saddle. Cut the steerer tube...looks like a photo slam.

Thanks. I'm still debating whether to go with white or dark decals on the next set of wheels. Both wheelsets I'm considering have that option but both have the decals under the clearcoat.

Mine wouldn't install like this. With the arm down, it was basically touching the spokes. Had to make mine stand up like the one a few posts up. I think Garmin designs it to be installed either up or down, depending on the chainstay's proximity to the spokes.

I could be wrong but I that's not his bikeep. He was bringing it up by showing me that my bikeep would look good with Boyd 58mm wheels.

I see, well someone here in Richmond must agree with the SS/Boyd combo, then! Now that I think about it, the bike I saw might have had the green SRAM Red group, but otherwise identical to the pic.

Picture is not good. Want to see them though because from what I can see they may have some potential!
