I always dug the triple triangle frames. I picked this up super cheap off Craigslist as a trainer/back up bike. It had a broken shifter that replaced with new Sora. Gave it new cables, brake pads and a clean and tune. Recently I bought a adapter so I could put on a modern bar and stem I had sitting around along with a seat post. I found a set Mavic elite wheels and tires for $100 along with a new saddle, bar tape and such I'd say I'm all in for less than $300.

hmmmm, appears I need 10 post minimum to be able to post pictures of my bike, yet I'm only allowed 5 post minimum per day! Just plain silliness IMO but oh well. I'll get mine up as soon as I am allowed. Nice bikes everyone!@

I recommend either wheels and tires I listed if you think the ride is harsh. They are very quiet and smooth, great for training or road racing, maybe too soft for crits.

Here is a picture of my bike. I feel very fortunate to have such an awesome bike. It has really made me push myself a lot harder and I have gotten a lot better than I ever thought I would.

It's hard for me to say as I haven't had a ton of road bikes myself.
I was previously on this Motobecane Vent Noir.
Compared to that, the Emonda rides really well, but I also switched from alloy seatpost, bars, and saddle to carbon seatpost, bars, and saddle on the Emonda. So that could be a bit of the difference, but it still doesn't ride as well as my Crockett. Goes to show how big of a difference larger tires make.
I will say I love how agile the Emonda feels compared to my Crockett and my previous Motobecane road bike.

I need to take better photos of "Blue Monday" but here it is in all the glory: Foundry Chillkoot TI frame/ENVE fork with Ultegra DI2 Cane Creek eeBrakes El Chulo edition and handbuilt wheels with White Industries T11 hubs and H+Son rims (though currently the front wheel as seen in picture is actually a Dura-Ace 7400 laced to a different H+Son rim) It will soon be ditching the external A Junction for the bar end version.
It rides quite nicely and my only real complaint about the build is I wish Jagwire's link housing was a darker blue but the more teal color has grown on me. I also wish that Cane Creek had come out with the El Chulo brakes sooner because then maybe I would have done gold link housing and not had another set of eeBrakes now lying about.

Trek Emonda ALR 62cm
A few photos of my 62cm Trek Emonda ALR. Quality frame/fork. Easily takes 28mm tires.

2018 Kestrel Talon X Shimano 105
Finally picked it up!!
Now I just need some recommendations on the add-ons. What lightweight bottle cages do you recommend? Saddle bag, etc.... Thanks in advance!

Just picked up a 2017 Fuji Gran Fondo 2.3 with full Shimano 105 components and hydraulic brakes. Have some wheels that I'm going to swap out as well as saddle. Should pick it up on Wednesday.
This is a stock picture. I will post before and after pics once I pick it up and make the changes.
