It's OK, but probably not good enough to justify being posted 3 times on the same page.

One of those times where a -17deg stem looks very misplaced. Yoga + slamthatstem or just use a regular -6deg.

Show bike init, it will be cut down when it actually gets ridden

^Dammit's right? Build is awesome

Some very very nice bikes on this page

Sorry. There was some problem with server last night.

I know the group is a bit mixed and the bars aren't original, but I'd love to own a Mecacycle

my LBS has one of these for sale in my size for about 800-850 pounds iirc. lovely pearl white paint and a mixed group set with some simplex stuff etc.
I've been dreaming about putting modern campag and carbon forks on it. yes, I'm the kind of guy that loves moderne groups on old steel frames.
put of by the fear that it probably will be french threads and sizes all over.

^ I'd prefer a normal bar setup but lovely frame there though...

Love that BMC frame.
Would give my nut for one.

But that build looks off somehow. Angles. Think it's how the photos taken.

Textima

Another one that doesn't feature anything particularly special, but all comes together to look so right and so damn fast!

It must be a fast setup but aesthetically I find this a mess, crazy long cockpit, saddle too forward and negative stem with sloping geo

i'm a bit of a fan of Kuota and their KOM frames, shame they won't be in the world tour this year.

saddle :(

Is that Phil's?

a bit heavy isn't it?

^Nope, it's the tool of his trade, he needs it to work solidly and reliably at all times. Weight weenies beware!

Ironically it's way uglier than most weight weenie saddles.

Or are you talking about the whole bike?

well, to me is a little heavy.
I rode a steel bike with less than that.

and yeah, that saddle is ugly!!!

saddles have to be comfortable and we are talking about a pro bike

What's so wrong with his saddle? Isn't it just a Flite TT?

Looks like a Flite to me, ugly as sin, ancient, heavy, comfortable (still got one on my pub bike)! A mate of mine has a 5kg climbing bike, it is seriously fragile. I reckon most of us would benefit more from a little less 'us' than a little less bike.....
