Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It looks like a level 1, with straight seatstays. On the stock 1 & 2's (well, 2's in 2009, 1 & 2's in 2008) they had curved stays, and the level 2 has a slight diamond shape to the downtube - if I remember correctly. Looks though like the 'custom' part would be the stays, traditional geometry (i.e. non-compact), and the paint job... including paint on the fork (fork is probably a true temper alpha Q CS10 or 20). The overall geometry would technically be custom as well since all houseblend (stock) frames are compact.

EDIT: actually, I can't tell what fork that is. Not sure if it's an Alpha Q or not.

Either way... nice bike!

I guess I have more money than sense. Ive had other bikes, I started MTB first and then I got a commuter both aluminum and I didnt want that for a road bike. I actually got a really good deal on it.

I'm sorry, you can stop drooling.

2010 Force (which just arrived in a box today - Thanks Psimet!)
Seat post and stem - Thomson in silver
Wheels (will be a bit delayed as the rear hubs are still in production), Alchemy ORC and ELF hubs in silver, Sapim CXRay spokes in silver, Kinlin 300 in black.

Not quite US$10k, but getting damn close in AUD$.

I'll post a pic when I'm finished building it up. Got a bit excited when the frame pic arrived and had to post right away.
