My Giant TCR Advanced SL; the fastest feeling bike I have ever owned. I show up to rides I have no business in, and keep managing to hang on despite being out of shape.

they probably are clinchers.

The Z5 can easily be built under 15lbs.

They are Shamal clinchers. If I switched to Super Record, I could probably drop some more weight - there's a mixture of Super Record, Record, Athena and SRAM (brakes). I have a Eriksen titanium road that weighs about the same at 15.0 lbs but is kitted out in all Super Record.

I have owned several CF bikes since they first started coming out (e.g. Giant Cadex, Trek Madone) and like the Parlee the most. Stiff enough for quick acceleration yet more lively feeling than many others - just the right amount of flex in the right places. It's subjective but I have owned many, many high-end bikes and my bike lust stopped at Parlee and Eriksen.

I don't have a good photo but I love the ride of my Time VXSR Ulteam. It's from a few years back and I've ridden some more recent bikes, but the Time is still one of the best carbon frames I've ridden!

My LOOK 585 . . .

Definitely one of the best bikes I've ever owned. It's nimble and fast, and always a joy to ride. Weighs just a tad over 16, and currently has a SRAM Red group and Ksyrium ES wheels, but I'm planning to put a set of Boyd 28mm carbon hoops on it when the wallet allows.

2008 Colnago "Extreme-Power" team frameset: Rabobank for Paris-Roubaix.

I don't have any good images of this one built up yet, but I love it.

Confirmed by Alessandro Colnago as one of four Rabobank-ordered back-up E-P frames specifically for the 2008 Paris-Roubaix, basically built with a slightly beefier overall spec than the standard E-Ps of the time.

I have tried to find out which Rabo rider this one was ordered for, but to no avail. It may have been Joost Posthuma, but I'm really not certain at all...several of the riders on the '08 Rabobank P-R roster are as tall as I am.

I'm late to the carbon party, but this has been my toe in the water bike--a Look 585 courtesy of the forum. Not many miles yet, but I can see what the fuss is about...

Bars aren't even taped in the picture--rectified--and it has new (to me) wheels now--looking forward to some spring miles.

Rad! This is the winner. Someone mention politics or guns because this thread should be locked as nothing cooler will be posted. I love this.
