ridiculous. surprised the bike stopped moving long enough to get a pic. damn it looks fast just standing there

looks amazing, really like the frame on the transitions.

Congrats. Use it well.

For God’s sake, get rid of the Bontrasher bottle and get a Virtue bottle and cage. It’s like dressing Desiree Ficker in a sack.

I say keep the Bontrager bottle and just mount it as close to the BB as possible and not so high up.

Why didn’t you get the Specialized aero bottle that fits the center?

Looks like they did a great job with the cable lenght!

I think with this frame and the cable runs, it need NOKONS for sure. Using the shorter pearls to get a very nice and tight bend. That just looks bad.

Very nice bike, I was not so sure when it first came out, but I got to look one over very closely a couple of months ago in a shop, and it is a very impressive bike. I second what BMAN has to say on the water botle placement, I too have the Bontrager bottle (on my Plasma) and it is really a nice bottle set-up…

i’ll probably go to the specialized eventually, they have been sold out from what i’ve been told, and I get a good discount on bontrager from my LBS
.

i’ll go with nokons once I get my position dialed in, it was 60 degrees outside and I had to get the cables run so I could go out and ride before the cold front moved in. It’s a work in progress.
