Hot bike!

Just when I start accepting the fact that Fabian Cancellara will race on a Trek Speed Concept, I come across this picture of a custom painted Specialized Shiv. This may seem odd since I don't generally get excited about Specialized bikes, but the paint scheme on Spartacus' Shiv is simply incredible. The lettering is simple but clear, the yellow accent on the fork and head tube add a much needed splash of color to an otherwise monochromatic theme. The matching disc and Zipp front wheel (808?) really seal the deal. Unfortunately, with team Leopard now sponsored by Trek, there is a high probability that this bike will never see a race. Hopefully, the boys at Trek can create a Speed Concept with as much character and class as this!
