Hot.... are those Chris King hubs ... if so, well played good Sir. Well played indeed.
Also like the more aero rear, more climbing front. What are the mm depths of the F/R.
#2753
They're Enve 3.4's, so 35mm in the front and 45mm in the back. And yep, laced to pink (hoping the next frame I get has a custom paint job and the pink hubs will play into that) Chris King R45's with the Sapin CX Ray J bend spokes. (the first rule of bike club is...you do not talk about how much you spend on bike club - I totally hid that purchase from the significant other!)

2012 Fuji Altamira 2.0 Di2
Just picked up a new 2012 Fuji Altamira 2.0 with Ultegra Di2. It's my second Altamira and I love it. The Di2 is way better than I thought it would be.
I know my chain is in wrong position but didn't notice until after I took the photos.

Sometimes 'plain' means merely 'unadorned.' Sometimes it means 'homely.' Those wheels are most unfortunately plain.

I had that Fuji Altamira frame as my first bike so I can't hate on it, but those rims aren't for me. I like aero wheels and all, but that's just too much in my opinion.

They are a bit much for this bike. I had them for my tri bike which I recently sold and thought I'd throw them on this one. They are some chinese carbon 88's that are actually for sale since I won't likely use them much anymore without the tri bike.

Meh.
Did you photoshop the stripes on the frame, paint them, cover with tape OR is the blue and red on the first picture tape?

Not. A frame such as that with a brooks saddle will never be attractive IMO. Tall spacer stack combined with a +17 deg stem. I don't like seeing computers/garmins pointed up like that.
Saddle bag and light don't help. One could argue that it's not applicable since you were obviously in mid ride, but this thread isn't about that and it's something that isn't aesthetically appealing.

I threw the brooks on there because I rode this bike from SF to LA a few weeks back -- its by far the most comfy seat I've ever owned and doing a distance of ~550miles means a lot of saddle time. Still looking for that right saddle for my butt that doesnt weigh a ton
