I'd swear I saw a vintage Cadillac bike; some sort of dealer promo or somesuch.

I saw one of these at the Seattle Bike Expo a couple weeks ago. Not a bad looking bike if you like look of big fat welds.
Probably rides like an I-beam.

Looks like a plain vanilla frameset from Taiwan.

And you think it is not?

Something tells me that we won't be seeing the Discovery Channel team riding Cadillacs the next Tour.

Good sizes for us short guys though.

Fortunately none of the Tour de France contenders on this forum have to worry about their sponsors making them ride this bike.

Exactly what I thought. Computerized welds...to perfect. Wasn't all that light as I recall.

The outfit that built my bike had a bunch of these on display:



The Specs Rodriguez S3
Frame True Temper S3
Fork Alpha Q Pro
Rear Derailleur Chorus Carbon
Front Derailleur Chorus
Shift/Brake levers Chorus Carbon Ergo
Brakes Chorus
Cranks FSA Carbon compact or triple
Head Set FSA cartidge bearing
Hubs Velocity 10-speed cassette
Spokes Stainless Wheelsmith Aero
Wheels Velocity Spartacus Pro
Bars FSA Carbon X-Wing
Stem FSA Carbon
Bar tape Black Cinelli Cork
Tires Vredstein Kevlar Bead
Seat post Fortezza Carbon Fiber
Seat Serfas Titanium

All custom sizing and paint to your choice. Lighter than aluminum and Titanium but with the steel feel.

I would have had my bike made out of S3 steel but I'm a bit on the Clydesdale size for it...so I settled for OX Platinum.

We have Tour de France contenders on this board? I think it might be Drago.

Yes, it's me...I'm taking Lance's spot next year.

Hope they don't mind if I drive the Carrera instead of riding that little sissy bike.
