been a lurker here and figured i'd put up my bike so people can get a gauge of my setup. When i put this bike together, w-w was certainly a helpful resource! just put this together 2 weeks ago

general rundown of parts with weights (if i took them):

2011 52cm Specialized S-works tarmac non bb-30 1425g (frame+fork as shown+bearings+seatpost clamp+two cable adjuster things)
2011 Sram RED group , black edition w/ 2011 force front derailleur + ceramic GXP bb
Elite Custom Race cage , plastic 40g/each
2010 Fulcrum Racing Zeros Fr:630g R:855g skewers 55/65g
2011 specialized toupe 143mm TI rails 185g
Shimano Pro Vibe UD 20mm setback carbon seatpost 350x27.2 185g
Look keo carbon pedals 230g
2010 Easton ea90 stem 115mm -10 deg (yes 115mm) 120g
Easton Ec90 slx3 handlebars 40cm width 210g
lizard skin 1.8mm tape + easton bar plugs
gp4000 tires
yokozuna brake and shifter cables/housings

weight total above with garmin cadence/stem mounts (not computer) : 15.30lbs / 6.93kg

obviously i can certainly be more weenie if i were to do "little" things like ti skewers, ti spindles, lighter cf bottle cages, chop steerer (which will happen soon), chop the seatpost a bit, etc. Overall review of this bike and setup is GOOD. very stiff yet compliant frame. i was originally in the market for just a sl3 but this s-works came up for a good price so i went with it. sram red group shifts nice and fast. Lizard skin bar tape is comfy.

some crit measurements. 5'7 , 31" inseam, 700mm bb to top saddle, 85mm saddle (top) to bar (top) drop.

thanks for listening!

not that it actually matters, but i swapped out some components.

it's winter time here in MD , still riding =)

Nice frame!

Nice sl3. Even nicer s14. I see the fmic, do you have an sr20det in it by chance? If so I am so jealous. I have always had built NA Hondas, but now I am just a poor grad student with a broken Insight and a roomful of bikes.

indeed , sr20det powered! =)
