Sexy Bike, I was going to pick one of these up but went with a Trek Madone, primarily because there is a Trek store about 5 miles from my house and Specialized didn't do the white glove delivery service and built bike where I live. Guess there is always next time.

Mooty, when are you going to borrow one of my FESTKA's or Passoni's ? The S-Works kick has gone on long enough.

Oh my... that Passoni trio. I picked up the new Look 795 Blade RS recently and have been wanting a titanium bike to compliment it. Was originally looking at No22 but the Passoni caught my eye on a recent trip to Korea where I saw them in person at a local shop.

LOOK Blade RS looks stellar. I know the lads at No.22 well. They make an exceptional product with a lot of customization. They ride well to boot.

Passoni rim brake SR12 with the Gokiso wheels
Passoni Pista only one ever built
Passoni disc DA12 with Lightweights

sorry to tell you that you will soon dump trek and get s works..
when you are ready, call bicycle Haus in AZ ask for KALE, yes the vegetable ..
he is really good
white glove
SL8 is that good
I have 5 SL8, I don't need variety when I have the best

hahahah why 3 different size passoni.
I had original merlin XLM, every Seven up to 2010, every moots and tested many passoni.
when I need a coffee bike, I will hit you up.
FESTKA, u tried to g3t me one but they are very slow to reposed or to build. remember I have no patience.

I do like your rings and crank, now all SL8 run carbon ti rings, THM cranks, SRM9 meters ;-)
the THM not LOOK cranks are very hard to get, VERY HARD. so I now have inventory of 6 sets muhahahahahah

u need to ride harder, why you are not breaking those lightweights is beyond me.
I have more of those than most dealers, and constantly fixing them hahahah. but they are the best climbers, as long as on cross wind.

SL8 is THE perfect bicycle for your OCD. No Questions.
I have 3 sets of the THM-SRM Combo. We have the market cornered.

I will say the F12 is damn fine after riding them in Alps... I have two sitting we can take for a spin when you visit me up north. You get the blue one, It's your size, you despise blue, it heavier, one bidon cage and has ENVE wheels

Funny I have had nothing but S works tarmac. But figured I would try something new. I’ll hit up that contact if I don’t like the madone.

Wow. Maybe I should ask this crowd all what to do for a new crankset in my 2016 Emonda SL6. I've finally worn the sprocket to the bitter end this past year on the 10 km track in Abu Dhabi (Al Hudayriat Island) - as I'm in the Bay Area next few weeks was planning to pickup parts for a full refresh - all advice welcome !!

PS - anyone open for a drive I've got my car in the area as well - thinking about the SF Speed day at Laguna on Aug 2 if anyone has any thoughts on the event / organizers feel free to PM me.

This is why your woman looks at your funny - it's not just BBS wheels laying around in the house, it's bikes in the kitchen too! LOL!
