Everything is done right on that cervelo, the angle of the stem fits that top tube well, stem is slammed, deep dish carbon wheels, staging is good, but there is just something about it that makes it Luke warm for me and I don't know what it is. Might just be the geometry of the frame, I don't know. I still like it a lot, but its not super hot for me. I really want to give it a Hot though
No one commented on whether to keep the decals or not.

Reynolds had decent decals, then their decals were awful, and now they're just kind of bad. I say no decals except for the valve decal.

Thanks for all the great comments about my Ritchey, ( Dtrain I fixed the rear brake cable, the front brake cable was sitting underneath it pushing it up). Been out on a couple of rides now, such a smooth, comfortable ride and handles like a dream

I agree with this! I bought my reynolds used and the valve decal had been removed. I'm too cheap to buy a new set of decals just for the valve decal but I think thats the hottest way to roll the reynolds...simple and understated, but everyone still knows what they are.

Thanks for the photoshop!! Yeah, I ran my Attacks with just the valve stem logo, and I really liked it like that. I actually do like the full on limited edition grey decals as seen on the pic. However, it looks and screams "I'm fast", which I am not at all. I think i may remove the Reynolds decals and just leave the valve stem logo and the powertap logo.

Appreciate all the feedback.
I wanted to dial in the fit of the shifters on the Tornova handlebar before wrapping it up. I was going to stick with the Fizik apple green tape I used before, but it doesn't look aesthetically right with the gumwalls. Either a set of black lizard skins 1.8 dsp or may even try the Handlebra variety.

Posted here before, but cleaned up her up and figured why not throw it up again.
