Bike Forums - Hot r Not

There is nothing quite like a bike that really works for you and is a pleasure to ride. I vote not hot (and no way the seatpost pictured is carbon), but no more 'insults' from me. Hopefully you'll cease throwing them around as well. Many safe miles to you and may the winds always be at your back.

The seat post is carbon : Specialized Pave, FACT carbon, 27.2mm diameter & sorry if I insulted you. ( PEACE ) :)

It has potential, but given the context of this thread, I'm going with "not".

I know they are not adjusted properly, and will take care of that. Thanks

In the pic's, a carbon post is on the Sirrus. The Allez has an alloy suspension seatpost that was likely original to the Sirrus (same as on my wife's Sequioa). Maybe you switched them back or picked up a second carbon Pave since the pic?

Yay - a hot bike! In light of recent transgressors, I'll even forgive the lack of valve stem alignment and the granny ratio.

Now that something you don't see everyday. Aero hoops on a Trocross. Not sure it's hot but I like it for some absurd reason.

Hot!! But I can't tell which brand of wheels they are. And in your haste to keep the thread from deteriorating beyond repair you did forget to get on the big ring...

Sorry for the bad cell phone double pic. First time doing pics with my phone. The bike is a 2012 fp team ultegra. Upgrades with carbon bars and stem with a fizik saddle. Haven't got everything dialed in yet. Tell me what ya think, I can take it.
