That SLC-SL is in dire need of deep section wheels... lightweights, LEW, Zipp all come to mind 
... nice ride though.
That Madone up there is damn hot too, although it looks like you might impale yourself on the the steerer tube
.. cut that thing!

Just picked her up today. Actually, about 4 hours ago, I was in the shop getting fitted . Ah. My first road bike. and in the infamous words of Bilbo Baggins (from Lord of the Rings): "It'sssssss. mmmmiiinnneeeee. My own...... my PRECIOUS." It's a trek 1500 with 105 components . Picked it up for $950. I am SOOOOO looking forward to tomorrow's ride. and yes. I do know that the spoke reflectors and the "dork disk" is also. But you know what? I really don't care. Little story. I was telling my dad all about the bike at supper, and I said "the frame is aluminum." and he immediately jumped in with "Geeze. for $900, you should be getting titanium." . (Just goes to show you how much my dad knows about bikes). Yup. I did finally manage to convince my parents to let me spend my money on a bike.
