Nooooooo. At my LBS they have one with a carbon fork and seat post, defy 3, and since I work there, I would get it for cheaaaaap. Argh, being 15, with about $15 (lol) this upsets me very much. Do the defy 3s normally have an aluminum fork too?

My dad painted the white garage door red 
Should I go SRAM Rival ($750) or purchase FLIT Zephyrs ($975)?
Either way I need to purchase a new saddle...the front tip is bent down (dont know how)

Just picked it up a couple nights ago. 2008 Gtr Pro Rival. I love it.
Sorry for the crappy pics. I only have a cell phone camera.
I hate laundry.

The PoseurProject hit a delay when the mothership carrying on the project unexpectedly crashed on 4.09.09 , but after a month-long rebuilding process, the PoseurProject is finally back on track and is going ahead on schedule.

Or, if that fit is correct, then a different (likely custom) frame.

How much setback is on that post? The seat looks dangerously far forward on the rails but it could be the picture.

That's not a Madone, that's an Equinox TTX, and people have been scamming on CL with cheap Madones for a while.

Are you selling this bike? Or looking to buy it? I'm confused. If you're selling it, I would imagine you know that it's a TTX and not a Madone.

Actually, I was just too lazy to go put the shoes away so I just keep them on the bike so I never lose them.
The seat is right in the middle, but I have to get a new saddle....I broke the tip lol

I'm usually on C&V, but these are more modern, I guess. One is my fast road bike, one is my triatholon bike.
I haven't a clue as to the Ti frame maker. I was told it was custom ordered from Airborne, which likely means Chinese... Full DA group, hand-built wheels, women's Fizik saddle, nice and comfy, but I'd like to trade it for a men's model. The photo is deceptive, the bars do not tilt up. I'll cut off the steerer when I get the stem exactly right, a 60cm will be tried to get the length right before I tilt the bars down, move the STI"s to go full-time on the drops. It's as light as the Kestrel.
This bike has been altered already, and I've already got those spacers dropped and changed to CF, and a CF bar. The dilemma I have is wheel set. This is an Equation set on Formula hubs, and I have two sets I can choose from besides these, which are the lightest.
Bontrager Race, or Mavic Ksyrium Elite? Both laced radial front, 2x rear w/bladed spokes. About the same weight, both stiff and good hubs.
Or keep these lighter ones? Opinions welcome. Tires, in any case will be Pro Race 2's. These Hutchinson Fusions are too darn hard.
Thanks, from an old guy, C&V most of the time. I still like o go fast, though.
