Race wheels make a big difference in how a bike looks. Congrats on the bike. It’s nice.
Black looks better than gum walls
Trek Emonda SLR 9 Disc Project One with Quarq pm. No picture, it’s in a box traveling cross country. Just in time for the start of the summer.
If they’d made the disc version in that paint job I’d probably have got it instead of my Bianchi. I hecking love it.
They actually had an almost identical paint job in disc version, the only difference was the purple-ish part was a darker purple. I can’t find it on the specialized webpage but I remember looking at it a couple of times when I was purchasing my frame.
coincidentally I was just watching a race analysis by Norcal Cyclist on youtube and happened to spot a disc brake version of this frameset.

Looks great! I’m a sucker for an all black stealth machine, and Project One to boot!
My new bike. It’s a Moots MX RSL with SRAM AXS, Hope E3 X2 brakes, Enve M525s, eeWings crank with Stages, RSL stem, Enve M5 bar and Fox Factory 32SC. I ate a lot of beans and ramen to save up for it, but it was worth it. I love this bike.
Built by Bobby Wintle and Austin Turner at District Bicycles in Stillwater, OK.
My new race bike:
2019 Specialized Allez Sprint. It’s fully stock at the moment with a complete 105 build and DT Swiss R460 alloy wheels…but big changes are coming.
I’ve only been on two rides so far, but man is this bike a blast. Instant response to power and almost telepathic steering. I can’t wait to start hammering around the local crit series!
Just looked at this, out of the 10 markings from least to most, I’m at #3 away from most compliant, and it’s dreamy.
