    Well, it looks darned sweet.....crappy handlebars not withstanding.
    I like the understated black tape. But then, that's from me with 2 unpainted ti and black bikes.
    What's the component group? Is that a compact crank?

    I think the handlebars were slightly angled up which had me bending back my wrists on the drops which contributed to the hate the handlebars - but they're just thin and didn't have any of the usual padding that I have on my bars (my wrists suck)

    The components are 10 speed ultegra, the cranks are compacts. I might end up switching out the cranks, but I'm going to try to ride them and see how I do.

    If I have bling on my handlebars, it distracts people from how slow I am (look... something shiny) and how much I need to grow into the bike.

    The weather gods hate me. It's only raining to frustrate me when I have a bike I really want to ride.

    Yes. The universe is against me.

    I could of course put on a rain jacket & ride it in the rain.. but if I crashed it, I'd cry.

    You guys forget my ability to crash a commuter and dent a rear wheel. I'm pretty sure it didn't even bang into anything.

    But I'll probably not be able to resist riding it.
