Ok, since we are posting bike pixs, here is my latest. I posted this a few weeks ago but figured I stick it up there again.
Specialized M4 S-Works. Look HSC-3 All carbon fork, full Dura-Ace drivetrain, CaneCreek wheels. Bike weighs 18.5 lbs and is a rocket for lack of a better word. No flex on this one  My latest Bike I also own (2)Litespeeds (hence the Ltspd) one Tuscany road and an older Obed hardtail. Ultegra and XT/XTR respecitvely. Still my favorite ride for the long days in the saddle.

Ltspd- I hear you on the long rides. That is one problem with my Cannondale, I feel everything through the Alum frame and CF fork. I also have a mtn. bije on a KHS frame, XTR, Spinergy SPOKS, syncros, marz. shock.
My cannondale- Ultegra, 105 crank, (how for you like your Cane creek?) Rolf vector pro wheelset (love em!) profile bars, ultegra pedals. It is great fun to ride, just under 16.5 lbs, but, it is only a 48cm. I'm a short guy! Jeffrey |

Actually as stiff a frame as the S-works is it provides a remarkably good ride. I have logged 4-5 50+ mile rides on it and havent felt "beat up". Still on centuries I will ride the Litespeed, the new bike was primarly a race bike and a bike for 50+ and less miles. It also give me the opportunity to provide needed maintance on a bike and not be without a ride.
I love the Cane Creek wheels. I have 2 sets now and they are the best wheels out there IMO. Being that I live about 2 miles from the Cane Creek plant and ride with lots of the guys I like to support them. Still I would ride them over anything else I have ridden so far. They stay very true, even when you break a spoke. I had them laced with Ti spokes several years ago, and put 10-12k on the wheelset. After some time the spokes began to break, but Ti is bad for that under that type of stress. Since I had them re-laced with SS I havent had a problem. I could only dream about a 16.5lb bike, It can be done for a bike my size but I wouldnt want to ride it long
