Picture(s) please!

EDIT: might have pulled the trigger a little early with this post! With every new picture I see, I get more excited about my own Emonda SL frame on order!

Black bartape, black saddle looks so good on that frame. Think I might have to buy a new saddle at this rate. Was planning on moving over my Selle San Marco Aspide (link) but I'm beginning to fear it might not suit the frame well.

Looks terrific but rear brake housing is too long.

Looks great! Really like the XXX Lite brakes!
Hey does all that Rapha and Hi-vis make you faster?

Really Nice bike and components BUT! Your tires (GP4000S) facing the wrong direction. There is an arrow on it.

Curious, how did you get the XXX Lite brakes? Does Bontrager still sell them or did you find them elsewhere?

good looking bike, nothing sl about it tho, is heavy for the marketing claims they said about it.

I know Trek made a lot of claims about the SLR, but I don't think they actually made claims about the SL too?

claims about the emonda as far as i remember, nothing to take away, this bike is very capable and I dont think the weight would dictate if win or not in a race, I like the brand, I want a madone, is prob. going to be my next build.

Love this bike. I ride same model Madone 4.5 with many upgrades. How would you compare ride quality? Geometry? STRONGLY considering this frameset as well! cheers. Joe
