Saber?
Wow that looks exactly like my 2008 Lucero Ti but unpainted 
That’s nice!
It’s kind of like weird fetish porn. Too much crap hanging out the rear.
looks like it has a litespeed badge on it though. QRoo does make Ti bikes and both litespeed and QRoo are owned by ABG
Very nice bike. Very nice. But, it really is softcore porn.
Needs a little more bling to reach hard core porn status. Eg:
Wow! Now that is stunning.
Is she yours?
You put it up in the small chain ring…boo. ST no no
No one else is going to point out that the crank is not at neutral and it is in the small chain ring?.
I’m going to have the audacity to critique, but will first declare you a man of excellent taste with a beautiful ti ride and wheelset.
Let’s begin:
- Adamo: excellent choice! And in black, not one of their previous, ugly color schemes. Very nice.
- Behind the saddle: saddly it’s the bike equivalent of George Hincapie’s calves. You need to trim that down. Might I suggest ditching the entire assembly altogether (especially the two bottle cages) and tightly snuggling your flat kit behind the saddle rails.
- Frame bottles: transpose one with zip ties to a position between your aerobars for a horizontally-mounted bottle. Remove the other, and replace with an aero-bottle filled with concentrated nutrition. Rely on on-course nutrition during a race. Long training rides, you say? Have your Director Sportif hire an Italian model to hand you bottles as they follow you in the team car on long recon rides in the mountains (or, use your jersey pockets).
- Bento box: Rocket pocket? Really? They actually named it that? Either way, use it if you must, but I’m simply stowing my nutrition sleekly in my tri-suit pocket (electrolyte capsules and two back-up gels in case a hand-off fails).
- Cut the tube. You know which one.
- Brightly colored wheel decal? What’s the story there?
- Salstick in the aerobar? My man!!! Excellent work.
- Buy your wife something small but sentimental, then use discretionary income to purchase a Simkins egg brake for the front. Color black, will save you 3-5W.
- Are you running latex tubes? Apparently one can feel a difference. Either way, get a wheelcover on that rear wheel or jackmott will come after you. And I hear he’s getting faster.
Overall, I love your ride! Real men ride Ti. (I have CF, so I don’t know what that says about me, but the saying stands).
Nice Hot Tub…

you are right, now that is hardcore. but at last i am in the porn business

Fixed it for you. Can’t believe you let that one go…

thanks for the critique. re: number 8, i did that to get the power tapp on the wheels! worked great. i looked up the egg brake, great suggestion, but it is not capatible with 23 mm rims, which these are. too bad, cause it looks cool.
Campy as well. This man knows what he’s doing!
Wow! Now that is stunning.
Is she yours?
Yep. She now has R2C shifters and the spacers are removed. Too lazy to take an updated pic.

ouch! holy vicious varicosites batman.
i didn’t really think that my rear hydro-bondage trap was all that ugly, but now you got me thinking…
What brand seat post are you riding? I have a carbon QR in my saber and it’s very difficult to remove.
after cracking two carbon seatposts, i decided to go with alloy.
i have an aluminum “real design” seatpost. more flex than carbon. no difference in comfort.
what i wish for is a custom ti seatpost. hard to find.
Nice… I’m sure you’ll love the ride! Here is mine…
