Msrp for a new caad10 with Rival is $2k. Why spend that much for an older version?

I wouldn't. I just thought it was a cool custom.

Great work. I'm really starting to dig the black bike with gumwall tires. What tires are those?

Congrats on the new bike, Orlando! It looks pretty sweet, although a little busy IMHO. I think I like it better than the 2013 colorways though.

Vittoria Corsa Evo Clinchers-23's super supple ride.

Congrats! While you're waiting for shoes, change those tires out for something better. Why? Well...

Taken from a review of my bike - http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/catego...al-us-11-44763

"The Schwalbe Lugano folding clinchers are a reasonable weight at 290g apiece and have decent grip but rolling resistance is almost unbelievably high – to the point where we stopped a couple of times during the maiden voyage trying to figure out what was broken. The stiff, overly rubberized sidewalls also lend a crude, stiff and dull ride quality.
It wasn't until we swapped out the low-rent rubber for something nicer – in this case, Specialized's awesome new S-Works Turbo – that the CAAD10 revealed its potential. If you're a privateer racer and already have some better wheels for competition then feel free to use the stock Schwalbe Luganos until the cords show. Otherwise, we'd suggest swapping them out before you even walk out the shop door."

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably have to hold off on the wheels but will look into some new rubber. Any suggestions besides the Specialized S-Works Turbo?

I've only used Continental GP4000s tires since I got rid of the Luganos. You can get them on sale for as low as $33 with free shipping from the UK, and even when not on sale they usually run around $37-38 each. I have almost 5,000 miles on my current set, so they last quite a while.

If I emailed you, could you send me HQ pics? I'm thinking a new computer background is in store.

My local dealer has a 56 and a 58 for $2800. A 54 and it would be mine.
