the red Amira S-works is my wife's..
The Specialized Ruby is my Daughters.
Was going to buy a C59. But I got such a good deal on the SL4 and I could not pass it up.

Love the hanger system for the bikes!
I am still wondering when someone will make a Di2 integrated stem to hide all that nasty cabling mess at the front. Cosmetically, that's my only gripe with electronic systems.

How do you decide with bike to ride? Black Venge vs DI2 SL4? taken a favorite yet.
The Black Venge looks like winner for riding, but the DI2 appeals to my laziness and OCD in shifting...

1. What floor stand is that? It looks sweet.
2. Beautiful bike(s).
3. We haven't even met, how can I hate you like I do?
4. To the guy who asked why... As a guy in my group ride answered when upgrading from his Orca to a Dogma and asked why?, He responded "why does a dog lick it's balls? Because it can".

I love that style of stand. I just ordered a similar but all metal one as it fits my modern design where I display my bike. Hard to find in the US but some oems sell them branded like Giant and Cannondale but with a big price increase. The one I ordered is "Pro" branded by shimano.

What's the mounting system you're using for the bikes? It's clean and efficient, any links? Especially to the part that's holding the wheels.

I was in the market for a bike rack a while ago and was doing some research. So I came across the Velo-Grip Bike rack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTS6IoDDHI0 and I was impressed, until I saw the price $269 for a 3 bike system and $239 for a 2 bike system. so I built one myself for $90 about an hour to install.
Husky Velcro straps 200lbs rated x5 $6 each $30
3 inch rings x5 $1 each $5
Brush nickel bar hangers x3 $8 each $24 (white ones were $5 I believe)
Brush nickel bar 6 foot $11
6x12 shelf board $11
Lag screws x9 .40 cents each
Packet of 1/2 inch screws for the board $4
