My new Scott Speedster 10 + Shimano Sora 9V 2018 complete groupset
The 2016 IAM Cycling WT Team paint scheme is simply irresistible to me:
Syncros RR 1.5 aluminium handlebar complete the set:
Now our team is ready for the Giro d'Italia (Scott Speedster 10 + Giant SCR2)
Finally, first ride. Road number 188 from Lincoln City to Arenaza, in Argentina. Heart of the Pampa:
I'm really happy
Regards

I see others have posted pictures. I'm always happy to post pictures of my babies.
Ti Mega tube and X4 up for the winter, or until I feel like a change. The Alan on the "in use" hooks.

Picked up my Specialized Tarmac SL6 Expert last month. Have put a couple hundred miles on it so far, and am enjoying the surprisingly smooth ride!

CRITICAL CYCLES FIXED GEAR URBAN ROAD BIKE
I have now had the Critical Cycles Single Speed Size 57cm for over one year.....I have put over 5000 miles on the bike as it is a daily commuter for me. I have changed many of the components, but the frame is still the same.
I am still extremely happy with this bike and It is low maintenance bicycle for daily commuting or urban riding.
I have put this bike through the paces and it has stood up to everything I have thrown at it with flying colors.
The only thing I would change right off the bat for this bike is replacing the brake pads with some quality brake pads, like Shimano, etc.
If you do decide to make a modification to the bike, as I have done, it is a relatively low-cost entry price until you determine what it is you like. When I got the bike, I had no idea what types of components I wanted, and the low cost of entry allowed me to add items as I determined what I wanted. I am extremely happy with the performance of this bike and how it has lasted over the last year of hard miles, potholes, curbs, crashes, and etc.

You're right. I bought that bar tape, based on what color the bike appeared on the Specialized website. I thought it was WAY MORE orange but it turns out it's very yellow with an Orange stripe down the middle. The bar tape matches that orange stripe pretty well, but it does not show very well.
I really thought it was an orange bike, but turns out it is mostly yellow. I should have known better anyway, and just went with the black bar tape. Oh well, when this wears out I'll back to black.

The bar tape isnt that bad. Im sure with the sun hitting the bike the right way it looks good. What the bike really needs is some carbon wheels and then its golden. Thats my fav color of the allez. So many spokes.

My Kestrel Talon
Finally got it ready for this season and rode it over 80 miles this week. I usually do between 20-50 miles per day. The wheels are new this year. Vcycle 88mm Carbon Fiber wheels. They ride nice especially on the flats.

I recently picked this on on Craigslist for a couple hundred bucks. It was my size and I loved the frame and paint. It's going to replace my backup road/ trainer bike. I swapped over a bunch of stuff, nicer wheelset/tires, saddle/carbon post, pedals, cages and others. New cables and bartape in black. I upgraded the brakes to 105 after 2 rides and one terrifying decent. Rides great now, I'm happy with it, before and after

I recently bought This 07 Trek 1500 SLR. With less than 10000km on it, it was in mint condition. The frame is one of the most comfy aluminum frames I've ever rode on. I was looking for an earlier CAAD or Giant TCR aluminum bike, but this one came up instead. I have a log for its extreme makeover below.You can follow me and it along if you want to.

Will take a proper "bike porn" photo when I get the other wheels back on it.
European 2017 Evo HiMod Team Di2. Former practice ride of Lawson Craddock.
SiSl Crankset, current setup is Standard 53/38 on FSA rings in the front and Dura-Ace 11-28 in the back.
Climbing/cruising setup is Mid-compact OPI Spidering 52/36 with an Ultegra 11-30.
Wheels are either the Mavic Ksyrium Elite's shown or Reynolds Assault's.
Cannondale-Drapac bottles and cages by Tac-X. Garmin Edge in front of the bars mount.
