Lucky he is not rocking a seatbag, there could have been blood spilled. 
Indeed, but those 30mm of spacers are borderline *runs and hides*

Saddle dumps all over the Fizik that came OEM. I dunno about that large sprocket, used it once on a killer climb and nearly flipped out. Researching a full X9 upgrade.

Didnt know pumps on frames werent pro haha.. oh well If there's any consolation, it's carbon fibre and weighs 60g
Better than being stuck on the side of the road with a spare tube but no way to fill it up. I have the same pump, looks great stuck on a naked carbon frame and even works pretty well too

[quote="ezzy" pump in a jersey pocket isn't too bad[/quote] Or just use the mount provided - no way it's falling out or injuring me further if I happen to fall off. No need to be so precious unless you're racing

She looks a superb looking ride. I wish my bike could take that Granny gear but I think on a 20" wheel the derailluer would be scrapping on the ground. Love those blue brake hoses - really goes well with the Giant colour scheme IMHO.

Glad to see the  there, Crawf I wonder if some people here don't realise that the Velominati is a send-up.

Just bought my first Carbon road bike, a Tarmac Comp SL2 with full Shimano group set. Yes it's in racing red, the only colour I had seen it in, on bike exchange. Up untill Friday that is. The day after I bought my bike I find that the store I bought it from has a single frame in black with red highlights, and it looks rather mint. Tarmac Comp SL2 Frameset (2011) I had the bike slightly upgraded compared to the specs in the add. Like I mentioned, I asked for the full 105 5700 group set (brakes and crankset were a lessor Shimano series) & added the 105 pedals from my old bike, changed the saddle to a Toupe Comp Gel Saddle, changed the wheels to Mavic Aksium. Added in an extra rib cage and a couple of bottles to go along with the Speed Freak Pack on offer at the moment, which includes the following products from Specialized: Propero Helmet, Comp Road Shoes, Rib Cage and Mini-Wedgie (valued at $499 RRP). A nice starter road bike and package for $2300.
