Beautiful bike. I looked at pro's rack in Galveston and most bikes were either Trek SC or Felt IA. Starky's pink Orbea stood out though.

The gebioMized screenshots are pretty neat. Amazing how seemingly small tweaks can make a big difference in comfort.

Pretty sure that's a super 9 disc.

Nice bike. Love the white.

I said so in there :-)

Rim brakes! Huh? Does the new SRAM hotness even work with such an old, poor technology?

You should know by now that people will comment before reading!

If you pee on the brakes enough, they eventually become hydraulic

Truth - I should be smarter by now

They make a big deal on the new fit, and the changes they made- but um, the results in the race after the changes:

Great work, Herbert, but I wish I could see how that cockpit/hydration/computer mount system works. I couldn’t get my stock Bontrager shrimp fork to work well with anything other than a Speedfil / top mounted Garmin setup.

I love the white draft box! I have a white Trek SC as well... Whats an easy way to get my draft box looking like that one?

Nothing an airbrush and a bottle of white paint can't fix. Heck, a hobby rattle can would also work.

If you are picky and in the U.S., take your frame to PPG paint shop and they will mix paint to match your frame.
I would say it will be pretty close to 95-99% match.
Buy a quart, take the can of paint and the box to a local automotive body shop.
They can paint the box for you with a small fee. If you know how to wet sand right, you can save more money by doing the prep work for yourself.
You can rattle paint yourself. Make sure to buy a closest color and wet sand the box for prep.
I would recommend finishing with several layers of clear coat for better finish.

Your caption says sub-9, the poster said he thinks its a super-9.

But whatevs.

Curious, what size chain ring she is running?

It said it is a sub-9 - which is tubular. But yes whateves:-)

It's either a Zipp 900 or a Zipp Super-9, but the one thing we know is that it's not a Sub-9. The Sub-9 has the very distinctive circle, shown here, where the "rim" is bonded to the inner disc structure:
