What road bike do you have?

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
knobster, for some reason a Brooks looks less out of place on your Bianchi than it does on my BMC:

I still think your bike looks awesome even with a Brooks.

Nice! I'm planning on picking one of those up before next season... Jan/Feb probably.
It seems to me that Specialized bikes somehow always look worse on their website than they do in person or in other people's photographs, and this bike is no exception. Just curious, would you say the black is just black, or is it closer to the carbon color? Not sure if you looked at the 2011 Roubaix Elite in carbon, but that color is what I'm talking about.

I would say its just black. The new elites are carbon fiber black.. Nice looking bikes

non drive side, using a wired computer in 2010, cranks that dont match the rest of the gruppo, that front qr skewer, and living in a place with cinderblock walls... well, the cinderblocks sort of match the wired computer.

And I don't think that you have lined up the logos on the tyre sidewalls with the valves either.
