I meant the elbow pads :)

Re bontrager brake pads: they're trash. That's the reason I have up on the Aeolus wheels which are, otherwise, very nice.

oh yes zipp pads! Yea they went on no real problems; had to adj bars a bit and bolts don't go in as far in as i would like (need to find some longer bolts) but they feel super stable and a hell of a lot better then Bontrager pads.

My amazing Scott Foil. I added some vision mini tt bars on when I race draft legal. Absolutely love this bike; stiff, light, accelerates quick and just looks fast!

Is that by any chance the one I was admiring in Landry's Bicycles last weekend? Makes me very jealous!

It is; I finally brought her home, were she will now spend the next 5 months on the indoor trainer, very sad. Well hope to get a few days of good weather to ride at least few times outdoors.

BMANX

are those 404s or 303s?

Never seen such an eclectic mix of colours on a bike. Serious question was that by choice or because the various parts were on sale?

Legit question the the saddle and pedals but that bar tape is 100% by choice....

404's carbon clinchers. Got them for 1150 from a friend after shopping around for a couple months.

I had a red and black bike before this one hence the red saddle and pedals and i did not want to pay the money to replace them. Also I race for endorphin fitness and our colors are red so I kept it. I put pink bar tape on by choice in October because it was breast cancer awareness month and have had a couple relatives pass from that.

DIY Paint Job. With A LOT of patience it can turn out alright.

Now you need a black adamo road.....

Whoa! If you look a few pics above yours.... My tt bike is your road bike's half cousin.

Awesome.

Got to love the 1080's + black'd out paint.

What frame is that?

Specialized Allez E5 Smartweld

Drilled for internal Di2 routing.

Sweet. I've always liked the look of deep wheels on a non-aero frame. Reminds me of Cavendish before the Venge came around.

Definitely throws your mind a bit given the abnormality.

Proportions are a little funky in the picture for some reason. Would grab another picture but have already tossed fenders and a set of rain wheels on for the PNW winter.

Sweet ride. My 2 babies for a while are my Cervelo S5 VWD and a Salsa Vaya flat bar convert. Both have di2, DA-7970 on the S5 and an 8 Speed di2 Alfine internally geared hub on the Vaya. Love them both and it's commuter time! Instagram--

My Speed Concept with the 9's and a 9/5 combo.

Nice ride! Quick question. My specialized virtue aero bottle sucks when it comes to the bottle staying in the cage throughout a race without being ejected. How's the cage grip on the bontrager bottle?

I have raced it 3 times and done a lot of training rides with zero issues. Love it!!
