    That is Epic's photo wall, they took a photo as soon as they built it (while I was there actually), But thats the very same bike (photos on page 1) being unpacked in my house. As for the groupset, well, I think it's what you get on with. I've had Campag before and prefer Dura Ace. Sorry. :wink:

    Yes with an expensive bike like that you've got to be pro level, that's the rule.

    I thought the Sempre was a great ride but this is just amazing. Comfortable (for a race set up) on long rides, responsive, fast, I can feel it just wanting to go on the hills. I'm really happy with it, so glad I took the plunge so to speak. Caused a bit of trouble on the training run this morning!! :twisted:

    That's one sexy bike you must be really pleased. I just hope you'll take the barcode off the stem before you take it out, somebody will make a sly comment. :lol:

    But seriously lovely and looks fast.

    HO - LEE - COW that's cool. I like it a lot, not for me personally but it's a mean looking machine. You really need to:
    a) slam that stem
    b) take the white barcode sticker off the stem (or magic marker over it)
    c) the brake levers look wonky in relation to each other, put a steel ruler over the hoods to check their levelosity/ horizontality.
    The titifers have sung their song.

    Now it's time for sleep.

    It's actually the wheels. They have hollow cavities that make a droning sound. It's quite an unusual noise but sounds great... and fast! :twisted:

    I don't think I'd want to ride it, I just want to put my arms around it a give it a big cuddle!
    That's so nice!
    When you say it makes a nice sound perhaps a video clip to make us all moist?
    Enjoy mate, enjoy!

    any updated pix with a more slammified front end?

    it's beautiful to look at and it sounds not too bad to ride too...
