Throw the stick!!!!
Time trial bike may be angled slightly upward, others are all level. Saddle on tt has been replaced with an Adamo so it no longer has a saddle with a nose on it.

Nope, feel perfect. I actually prefer the slight angle, seems more natural to me and my wrists. Plus, it keeps the tops level going to the hoods. My hands are rarely in that position anyway, spend much more time in the curves of the drops so I can access the brakes while riding in a paceline (in case of emergency).

New bike, 2012 Scott CR 1 Team picked it up on Saturday, not really set up yet (just a quick fit in the store). The GoPro mount is just being tried out, it won't live there. Also waiting on new pedals and bottle cages, just put these on there for a quick test ride.
Old bike, 2001-2002 Specialized Allez. Wheels replaced last year otherwise it's stock.

I dig it. Seems like the new trend is a pitched top tube. Can anyone explain why this is?

Soem updates were done:
Cannondale got new group - 5700. Shifters, crankset, rear derailleur.
Wheelset is next.
Fuji got 6600 shifters, full carbon fork, Sprint 350 wheels, WSC seatpost and 111 gramm stem. It shaved-off almost 2.5 lbs. It is 16.6 now.
Probably not the lightest but the lightest I ever had.
My wife's bike got 6500 shifters, rear derailleur...as a result of the upgrades above
Looking for light wheelset for her bike.

Finally got the original rear hub laced to a new rim (original rim was a taco when I got the bike - I had been running a spare rear wheel since I owned it).
Back to a complete set of 105!
Trek 1400. Not sure what year.
Yes, it's probably a bit big on me... but it works for now.
Sorry for the poor iPhone picture.
