What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

OK I'll bite. Here's the Klein Quantum that I just finished building with a full Ultegra 6800 group, Fulcrum Racing 1 wheels and FSA Plasma bars and carbon seatpost. I bought the bare frame last month and have put 200 miles on it now. It's a great ride. My other road bike is a Roubaix Expert but I don't have a current picture of that one.

Picked up this bike on closeout at my LBS to replace my aluminum Trek 2.1. This will be my race bike for criteriums this spring, as I'm just starting out. The paint job just caught my eye every time I saw her at my LBS, so I feel it was destined to happen
Specs:
2013 Focus Cayo Evo 4.0
Frame & Fork: Full carbon w/ alloy steerer
Brake/Shifters: Ultegra 6700
Crank: FSA Focus Energy Crankset
Gearing: 53-39t
Wheelset: Fulcrum WH CEX6.5
Tires: Continental 23mm Radsport
Saddle: Fizik Arione VS
FD/RD: Ultegra 6700

First upgrade to her will definitely be the wheels

I'm actually looking at the same bike to buy. The LBS has it discounted and in my size. How are you liking this bike so far? I've never had a road bike before so this would be my first one if I decide on this bike. Your picture of your bike is making me lean more towards it.

I hate it and love it at the same time. All of the emotions at once.

New guy here. Just built up my latest road bike a few days ago after compiling parts for a few months. Not exactly sure what it is, but I like it just fine. Took it out on a trail and ended up taking pictures in a field after snapping a spoke just a few minutes in.

Any insight on what it might be? I posted another thread here and thought I had figured it out (Cannondale CAAD 3) but there are some subtle differences. If you know what it might be, the thread is here with more detailed pictures: (https://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycli...ike-frame.html)

Looking forward to road riding!

By the looks of it, and if that is the original fork, I'm leaning very far toward it being an "un-badged" Specialized Allez from the early 90's. That's most definitely a Kinesis fork with the polished crown, which came on the Sport and Comp models of that time. And those rear drop-outs are nearly unmistakable. I believe they used shifter bosses on the DT up until about '97-ish. I bought a new Comp in '98 and I seem to remember they had changed to the adjustable cable guides then. Anyway, that would be my bet. Cheers!

Yep, that's where I got mine too. Goodbyecycle has an ebay store and that is where I got it. And shockingly.....FREE SHIPPING (I'm in Colorado). I was floored, so I jumped on it pretty quick. I kept the listing on "my eBay" as they had 10 of them listed, I was curious as to how fast they sold. I looked at it the very next day after I ordered mine and they had changed the listing to include a shipping charge (although it was only $10). And just for props to Goodbyecycle....they FedEx'ed me a bike box for free...from Texas to Colorado...in 48 hours. DAMN!
