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

Look 695SR Mondrian
SRAM Red with TRX brakes
Mavic Cosmic SLRs
And some just-the-right-side-of-obnoxious red detailing with the hoods and cables :-)
Hoods and cables and stem are too much.
Not hot.

I'd give nutt for that thing. I just can't believe the crazy high price for a frameset! $7,600 bucks... I had to say it. A C59 is $6k in comparison!

For that much you would expect the distributor to include a couple hookers and a baggy of blow.

Either that's just absolute laughing to the bank, taking the piss, gravy profits, Or, at some point someone has to look at the engineers and tell them, "you're overthinking it".

It's so I can snag passing fire hydrants and go super-fast around right-hand bends.

The saddle is fine, I think it's the bars that are high.

Almost hot, but the levers are too high on the bars for my liking.

Is that steerer really 1 1/8" threadless? It looks so skinny.

Ah right, I assumed 1 1/8" because of the Arx stem. Is it shimmed?

yes, seems like the only way currently. Although, I am thinking of having a custom stem made once I am 100% sure of the final position. That should clean it up.
