Looks good, i got my bike about 2 weeks ago and haven't ridden it yet, the weather is that bad.

nice ,i like it a lot,but i guess i'm a bit biased!

voxegam

Yeh? I thought they went well with the dura ace colour and the spokes etc.....ah well, each to their own. May change my mind and just put some carbon ones on there.

I like the spacers. I think thhey fit with other details on the bike. Not a big fan of the gold chain though.

It doesn't warrant comment - except for that comment there ^^ which had me p*ss my pants laughing!!

Your saddle needs carbon rails (looks cheap) and yes, lose the silver spacers.

Jealous? Nah...



P.S. My wheels are faster and stiffer than yours

The Trek looks good. I'd ride it, shame it's too big for me.

-it does look like a gate.

It's a well taken photo too, albeit not OCP but at least it doesn't look like it's been taken from orbit.

Ouch Rich....that comment must have hurt

As for you're wheels being stiffer and more aerodynamic Rich.....I beg to differ mate

I'm not interested in the 'OCP' views of how a bike is photographed, so no, it didn't

2 things: firstly, I didn't say more aerodynamic. Secondly, I get brake rub out of the saddle on Zipps but not on Shimano - they ARE stiffer

Anyway, there's nothing of you - you're gonna get blown all over the shop on those wheels!

What wheels are you running there just out of curiosity.

Both bikes look mint.... i have an 09 madone 5.5 but still standard so waiting for amendments before putting pics up :P

voxegam

I believe he runs Dura Ace C50s

c0ugars

looks lovely, but if she was mine i would change the spacer just because i always like something to change!!!!
