Hey 00Accord4cyl someone likes your bike a bit much, saw this while browsing CL

Thats actually really funny

aww it isn't there anymore....what was it

The link still works... This guy was selling his trek 1200 road bike and used one of your pictures for his ad

 

[00Accord4cyl]

Doesn't work for me I wanted to see which picture he used and if he gave me credit haha


Anywho...I am building up a Trek Madone 6.9 Project One with Campy components right now..OMG this thing is beautiful. I really need to take some pictures of it. Black with Glossy red logos..it is amazing

This is the picture that was on there, and you weren't credited.

Haha sweet! I would be pissed if I wasn't so surprised somebody from across the country used it. I guess it sold fast haha

Taking my camera gear to work today. Hopefully I will have time to photograph the Madone

I'm debating between a Madone 6.2 or a Tarmac Pro SL. I'm gonna be picking one up this winter.

^^I would be jealous. We have a Madone 5.2 with SRAM Rival components at the shop that keeps calling my name. But I don't feel like spending easily over 2k on a bike right now. Maybe when I get tired of the 1200, if that ever happens haha.


So evidently this is what $9,000 looks like This is now the most expensive bike I have built. I was kinds surprised to see that the bike weight 16lbs exactly. I was thinking low 15s.

If I was gonna drop nine geez on a bike, it wouldnt be on a name brand, it would be on a fully custom frame

I'm looking to spend around 4 grand this winter though, by that time I'll be pretty settled in my new job to be able to afford it fairly easily.
