That Madone's hot. Did you get any miles in with the new configuration yet? I was surprised that you changed your position so quickly, right after a pro fit.. but, it _does_ look nicer this way
So far, the Colnago sexmachine gets my vote. Although, I do lub that Cinelli CXT.
Edit:: Apparently it's an XCr, actually. I've revealed myself.. again

Hi,
Since there are so many Serottas in this thread:
Here's my race rig:
My TT bike:
My vintage roadie (1975 Bianchi Specialissima - original owner):
And, for completeness, my around=town ride and my track bike (in multiple configurations):

Cleave for the win. Thats quite a collection.
I saw the firs bike and though, ah thats cool - oh and the race rig is nice.
*keeps scrolling*
and the TT bike
and the 75' Specialissima
and a nice little town bike to round things off....
wait a minute! - track bike too! in both drops and pursuit formats
A whole bunch of awesomeness. And btw - the little piece of wood under the front tyre to make everything just so - 'textbook' this is a lesson on how to show off your bikes. 10/10

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Lots of great bikes in here but a Moots/Lightweight combo is damn hard to beat

For me it's a tie between the Moots with Lightweights and Cleave's TT & 1975 Bianchis.
I will throw my 1975 Mercian into the mix as well.
Sorry, I don't own a white garage door and I know I should have shifted the chain to the big ring for the photo.

at this point, it's just a repeat of the 'what road bike do you ride" thread... people are just posting their own bikes when there's no way in hell that it'd be the nicest on BF
