Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand up for a moment...

That's a sexy bike - the mismatched saddle and handlebar tape actually works here (normally, I am not a big fan).

And you know Raj is going to be rocket fast on it, given how red it is (Capt Knees is wrong- it isnt the components that make him faster).

In this case the components are red too right? Capt Knees may be right after all

Great bike - new to biking here, but this looks really neat.
Congrats and have fun riding.

Cheers.

With me around don't be surprised to see a spike in the cost of red paint in global prices. I actually saved the world by going for a white handlebar tape. That was my way of helping out humanity.

By the way, now this becomes your main race bike? So what situations do you ride the other two at?

The Paris is going back to SL with me. The Dogma will stay in Italy. I am tempted ride TfN no it. Lets see. The other you mean the Colnago? That I ride when I am feeling good and all the natural elements are also in harmony.

A few more photographs and we can finally have closure to this very very long thread. Now to ride it and train for the months ahead.

I will have to wait to get to the US to get my dream wheels so for now settled with these. So this is the fast high profile version of it.

Just awesome!!

I just noticed - are those aero tubings on the bike, Raj?

[RNair]

Yes sir! The seat tube is all aero with the seat tube taking the same form.

[vkalia]

Oh cool. Got a ride report yet, on what it feels like?

[RNair]

Scary! I rode 500kms on it in a week and it has scared me so much I am the last one on the descend these days! It just wants to go away. Extremely rigid, very fast and the handling is frightening. I have never ridden anything quite like this. I would almost say it currently feels like a wild horse that needs to be tamed ! I am racing on the Paris on Sunday

The climbs is where it comes alive. I stand up and sprint and it just takes off. I am not familiar with the 'bike' language but this is the most extraordinary frame I have ever ridden.

Ros' brother and I tried to come down a descend coasting with that wheelset. I am 10 kilos lighter than him and every 1km I was gaining on 15-20m!

^^ Dang, that's impressive.

Cervelo is releasing their S5 in a couple of days - Thor's riding it for the Tour. That's got me drooling. That + Red + the new Enve wheels.... maybe my present to myself for my 40th!
