I dig it! That fizik saddle is a great match.
BUT now that you have the evo, when are you gonna ride this? Which wheel set is better, the Reynolds set here or the cheeper set on your evo? I would think you would put the Reynolds on the evo.

Haha, I don't know what to do with this one. I was contemplating selling it and getting a caad 10. I like having two road bikes in case something happens, you always have something to fall back to, but it seems kind of silly to have two carbon race bikes especially when I really just want to ride the EVO.
The Reynolds are very nice but I've really enjoyed riding the Real Design wheels on the EVO. Surprisingly, they're a really great set of wheels. They're also a tad lighter than the reynolds. I should switch it up for a week and see how it goes. I also need to get a spoke replaced on the reynolds - its hard to see but there's one silver spoke, just right of the valve stem. When I had my "accident," I needed to replace that spoke and the guy only had silver instead of black.

Stevemtbr - Ah, I think you got ripped off. I think you only got half of your tandem.
Where's the other seat for your backseater on that Co-motion?!
Doubling up on the one seat is gonna be tough.

Well black and grey... Made a few changes, put on the Envy stem, slightly longer than previous Ritchey. Dura Ace 9070 conversion (had a great time with the wiring), put a remote climbing shifter on the bar tops, and took the tubeless wheelset off now that I'm done with the Fondo.

Yes it does sir, yes it does...
(HOLLY SH!+ THAT IS GORGEOUS!) Screams dream frame all over the place. I gotta ask you something, why Dura Ace and not Campy? Nothing against DA just thinking that such a beautiful italian frame should be paired up with a nice italian group.

You and I have pretty much exactly the same bike. I took out the white saddle and handlebar tape and put a black toupe with black fizik double tape. I put a Quarq power meter. and coming next week a set of 50mm carbon clinchers. I like how yours look so I'm sure will look pretty darn nice as well.

Several reasons. Multiple bikes all Shimano or Sram, didn't want to add additional standards to my garage - new freehubs, tools, etc. My builder, who I really trust and sells both Di2 and EPS; cost no object he would choose Shimano over Campy. The hoods on the 9070 feel better in my hand than the Campy hoods. To me it just seemed like a better option, I don't really buy into the whole an Italian frame needs Italian components. There's lots of Japanese electronics in a Ferrari.
I guess it's like a hodge-podge, Italian frame, Japanese components, American wheels and cockpit. At least the saddle is Italian right?

They are Farsports M-series 50mm clinchers.
Here's a review of them: https://www.velobuild.com/velobuild-r...fiber-wheelset
