Nice. Is it carbon framed? What's it like to ride?

WTF is that attached to the rear hub - big black pie plate? That is a serious mistermeanor!
You'll be telling us next that you have left the 'size' sticker on the frame too, and that you haven't aligned the tyre label with the valve!

I've only had a chance to go out for an hour on it
The frame weirdly absorbs quite large road bumps, it's very smooth
It's stable at 70kph downhill
The only carbon bike that has better clearance and eyes for guards etc is the Hewitt Alpine. But that doesn't have such a long head tube and upright geometry. The mudguards I have are ok-ish
See my latest blog entry on Crud Road Racers
I'm not sure why the big chain protector thingy is on the back. It will come off when I change the wheels
I have removed the "register your bike at specialized.com!" sticker
The tyres don't have a prominent label on them..

Putting it out with bins is a travesty! LoL.
Nice looking bike indeed, also love that huge saddlebag too, what is it?

It's called a pie plate (also known as a dork disc, nerd coaster, Minneapolis frisbee, 45rpm single, idiot puck, or moron shingle)!
correct, you are an ace carradice spotter!
Although the picture with the bag with "Super C" Carradice written on it might also have been a clue.
