Clearly I like your style! See above. er... last page.

Hey Xy sexy! Do you fit the same on these bikes?!

The seatposts are not adjusted properly as these pics are just post built and pre fit. The saddle on the allez need to drop a bit and the one on the giant needs to raise quite a bit. I setup the hoods and handlebars different for 2 reasons. One, the sora stuff is not ergo so it just looks massive, and 2 on the touring bike I will be utilizing an upright hood style a little more.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll post again after the 5700 Black group gets added to the touring bike.

Edit: We are not including stuff we get for far less due to sponsors correct? Cause my carbon bike is EASILY WAY under budget for me, but for anybody else would be over budget just stock or as it came (being it was custom).

Holy F. 550? That is a frieken steal!

Very nice for 550. I've tilt those bars down a bit and pick up a new saddle...unless that saddle is comfortable to you. :/

bars and saddle are on the way out

550 bike, buys 50$ elite bottle cage from lbs. cant justify buying the 2nd one. win

1 i work at a lbs,2 those cages are 20 bucks lol but i dont pay that i had that 1 laying around.

niceee. do you guys carry the celeste one?

nope,i think that was a limited production

Boy, this gives me an idea!

I'm thinking about starting to commute to work by bike. I've got a 2008 FCR3, it's the bike that got me started into cycling. It's been sitting in my storage shed for three years. Through the normal progression that most of us go through, I've got a complete nine speed Tiagra compact drivetrain, plus spare stems and bars, just sitting around. I'm okay with the wheels that came on it. It's got eyelets for fenders and a rack. This might just work! :)

Those cages are always 20

It works out really nicely. With your 9 speed drive train you wouldn't even have to change the crank. These bike are really fast for hybrid builds and really comfortable for a road build. Plus, like you said it has all the eyelets for racks and stuff. I use this as my touring bike with front and rear rack and panniers.

$650 AUD for a columbus sl colnago with sram rival and open pros

whoa, you go to an lbs that doesnt rip you off? where

Not true. Sometimes they are less :)

Hah, that's pretty funny. Mine would look even more similar if the original owner hadn't cracked the steerer while tightening the stem. Oh well, I love the Easton fork anyway. It looks like your basement walls haven't started to fall apart yet, either. Nice build. I like the white bar tape. You must sit completely differently on those 2 bikes. Your drop is completely different.

Not sure exactly how much everything cost since it is a mix of old and new but definitely less than $1500.

i like that bike. that is my ideal budget modern bike. a reasonable alloy frame dressed in campagnolo 10. to top it off, you made it look better than most stock bikes in that price range.

i think that's the point

the point is to vote hot or not, therefore, i voted hot.

finally. i go hot as well. very much like a kilo tt. modest, modern, functional, and not pretentious. +1

What bartape is that? Like the bike BTW.

it's pretty hot, but I would cut the steerer, get a matching bottle cage (replace what looks like a Forte Sigma? idk, the black one), and geta new saddle. also the cranks don't match the color scheme but I'm just being nitpicky ;)
