I won't lie, I spent a good 30 minutes last night looking through my internet cache to see if I could find it.

Seriously though londonflu, you posted your bike in the most judgemental thread on this site...take your beatings. It's all fun and games at the end of the day, no one really cares.

It still reminds me of mcdonalds tho.

* the correct terminology is "couldn't care less". And methinks thou protesteth too much, if you didn't care, you wouldn't get so upset about all of this. Again, it's all in fun...

what is it they say.

you can spend millions to polish a turd, but in the end, it's still a turd.

Ha, what a loser you are!








I couldn't find it in my cache, either.

It was bad, but we've seen worse.

OP's reaction fed the frenzy. Big boy panties, Oct 2013.

@ londonflu
Dude, the bike is essentially a hipster bike. That type of bike just won't fare well in road. If we had a hipster forum it would probably be wildly popular, but not here.

To be fair, it's definitely clean and neat and hip. But not appreciated in Road despite all it's finer qualities.

Hot.

GlennR 10-17-13 07:23 PM

Its red so it has to be HOT.

thewilson 10-17-13 07:27 PM

It's so close to Hot but that saddle position is making it more slightly undercooked for me.

I think you can automatically upgrade out of Cat 5 with that bike, Isberrios. Sweet. I usually hate matchy tires but it looks nice on yours. Obviously the saddle looks way nose down and a little far back, your stack height is skyscraper high, and you're in your bailout gear (what is that on the back, a 30?), but the frame and wheels are great.

lsberrios1 10-17-13 07:51 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I have to say I thought the same about the saddle. I did get a fit not long ago and it feels pretty good. I am terrified to change it because I'd hate to have problems. Further down the road as I adapt to a racier riding style I'll do a refit which luckily is 50 bucks. Next thing is a Romin Pro saddle to get rid of those ti rails and get some more of that carbon bling :)

PS. Granny gear is a 28. I had just finished adjusting the FD :D

Shields up! Red Alert!

I like the new wheels! Still not a HUGE fan of the red tires but it does work with the frame. I like it


What i think would really set this on fire FOR ME is:
First things first, retake the picture and dont take it from below looking up. Be just above the bars looking slightly down. Choose a color of cages, black or red, not one of each. Black hoods. It takes a very special case for me to like colored hoods. I think an all black seatpost or at least one with less white on it would look better. all black tires.

PS fix that chain ;)

Point well taken, as you can clearly see I'm a novice when it comes to cycling.
