Wow, that frame looks new. Did you find something NOS or just in good shape?

Yeah, a bit much on the wheels but probably looks cool moving. Now you need the spidering to replace those annoying FSA rings.
And yep, time to scour the for sale forums for some spiderrings. |

Building it up with a mix of new and used components, including Athena 11spd. The rationalization is that I can't justify another bike for myself until she gets N+1. |

Until you can afford a nail to hang that picture you should probably stop buying bikes and enve wheels.

That is sick. Which one to ride?
Also, I like that the bikes are on the wall and the art is on the floor. Priorities. |
is there no wind where you live?

I think before I become an actual cannondale humper I have to try other brands. The tarmacs have always caught my eye, and I like the look of them more than the cannondale evo. I think if I ever have the money for a second bike I am going to pick up one of those (if not a cross bike). If won't be a fancy as yours though :p |

What do you hope to gain by downsizing?
You already have a good length stem for stable handling and proper weight distribution; your spacer stack is not extremely tall, but it's not really short either - adding more spacers in combination with a longer stem would only serve to decrease front end stiffness and increase stress on the steerer tube; looks wise, a longer seat post is considered more attractive but a spacer stack with a long stem just screams "frame too small" to me; as for weight saving, you could save as much or more grams by going for a different paint job. The only positive I can see is a slight increase in comfort from the longer seat post. In my opinion, it's not worth it. |

[MENTION=362860]chaser97[/MENTION], to be clear - if you have the chance, by all means do try a 50cm with all the contact points set up to match your current fit. As much as all the points might make sense in theory, what feels better is better :)
