I'm getting deja vue. Haven't we done this before?
Nice bike. I like the Addict. The first one looked good and so does this one and so does your bench. I saw a yellow one at a festival and I test rode it and a Cervelo S3. I liked the S3.

Let's wrap this up before it gets out of hand like it always does.

In a bike weenie bike schwag kind of way, I understand the decision.
I would have bought this one, however.

The 2011 Addict R15, which is spec'd with Sram Red, has a blue color scheme. Same frame as the R2. R2(Ultegra) lists for $3300, R15 lists for $4500 (I think the only difference is the component group, Red instead of Ultegra, so the R15 would be lighter).

Genetics have failed me
No Psimet wheels on the bike... FAIL.

i built a stock r15, and without pedals, it was 15.3 lbs on the dot for a 54. light stuff. considering the bs stock saddle and relatively heavy elites it comes with.

That frame must be light, 900 grams like they say (the pricier one is 800 grams). My Addict R2 is 15 lbs. 11 oz for a 56 cm bike with cages, pedals. The lighter bits include Zero G brake calipers (100 gram savings over stock Ultegra) and Dura Ace 1380 clincher wheels (150 grams lighter than the Elites). That's very light for a 56 cm Ultegra/clincher road bicycle. The Red components might shave 6-8 oz (remember I have lighter brakes already).
By the way those Elites aren't really all that 'heavy', but Zipp tubulars or Dura Ace light clinchers they ain't.
But you do have to ride an Addict for a while to appreciate what a killer race bike it is. Best climber/sprinter I've personally ever ridden, handles like a laser, and while it's stiff, once you get used to it, you discover it's actually rather comfortable, particularly for such a stiff bike. I can ride that bike 70-100+ miles with no problem. Very different than the Cervelo, which is also a great bike.
Like Rich from Bike Doctor says, once you get over three grand, none of it sucks kid.
