My first road bike, I took it few months ago.

I am into the stealth look of the bike. What saddle is that?

cyclebycle13

It is done- also posted under "putting my bike on a diet". I need to take a pic on the scale- 11.33 lbs and I can still take it down a bit further.

To answer the previous post- it's an ax-lightness endurance saddle- 77g, 3 years old, the only piece of equipment made by ax that I'll use.

I will obviously post pictures when it is done, but this is what I got so far.

Just picked up a 2013 allez Yesterday. Very basic bike, but as I get more fit and more into riding I plan to change a few things for sure.

Put on the race wheels.

Yeah but at the same time I seem to recall some dude posting his bike with large saddle-bar drop, but he had posted pics in other threads with less drop. He obviously raised the saddle for the pic, got called out on it, and was raked over the coals for it.

Not easy to please that group I'd say

My Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra in Team Telekom colors. Bit of a parts bin build running a 10spd Campy mix.

That wasn't in the Hot-or-Not thread, it was a thread that he had started basically stating that he was done caring about aesthetics (in which he obviously altered his bike for aesthetic purposes). He was also a dooosh, so people were happy to pile on.

The NP and the Focus are both very good lookin' rides!

nice merckx, counterfithero...that saddle looks to be tilted back though...

counterfit_hero

Thanks, nose up has always worked well for me when using a Flite. The position seemed to be popular when this saddle was the choice of allot of pros as demonstrated by Marco and Lance here.

Definite Like! The Campagnolo grouppo sounds great to me.

Don't sweat the upward tilt, Ally G's nice Ribble below with the downward tilt balances it all out in the cosmic sense of things, I suppose.

Bar tape should be black to match the saddle
Seatpost should be white to match frame and stem
The end of the handle bar should be aligned with the same angle as the top tube
The noze of the saddle should be pointing a little bit up
Chain not supposed to be in the biggest cog ...

This is only my opinion ...

PatrickGSR94

Actually I believe the consensus is the chain is supposed to be in the absolute highest gear - smallest rear cog and largest chain ring.
