Just got this a few weeks ago. Still working on changing some things. But what does everyone think?

Poor lighting and I'm still waiting on the bottle cages to show up, but I'm pretty happy with where it's at right now. It's a Trek though

Slam the stem and its hot. Really short head tube for a Trek... I like. Also the 3D+ P2M and the Ultegra 6800 chainrings is a very interesting combo. On first glance I thought it was a mountain crank.

Not bad for the trek (and I ride one) what crankset is that, and are you running the 32t cassette with DI2? I'm considering the conversion (run to 28t right now). Which frame set is it very nice!

Diamondback Podium 7
Alright, guys, let'er rip. It's a 2012 diamondback podium 7 frame with DA9000. Just finished putting her together, and went for my first ride yesterday - I'm really happy with how she rides, but curious to know if a Diamondback roadbike can ever be considered hot

Nice - I didn't realize diamondback made road bikes back then, always thought they just made BMX and mountain bikes. From the paint job, I'm guessing that was produced back when Miami Vice was on prime time

The Diamondback is a nice looking bike, but not hot.

Thanks for the reply, it's a beaut. If I can ask one other question... Do you find the jump between cogs to be a bit much in the easier gears? I have a set of RL's that I run tubeless for training and Fondo's with big gravel climbs that I'm thinking of putting an 11-32 on, but will also have to retrofit the cage from a GS on to my 9070 derailleur.
