Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Single bottle cage on the ST is a bit odd, otherwise very hot. :thumbsup:

My bike was eviscerated in this thread earlier, so I'm a little raw emotionally, and unfortunately, I am going to take it out on you:

Not.

I feel like I usually might not like it, but that looks great.

Nitpicking here, but cross chained, spacer stack, valve caps. Seriously though, looks good.

I totally dig the color. It's smurf blue! I'd buy a smurf sticker for it.

It's got some sizzle. I'm not keen on the bowed frame, and at first I didn't care for the wheels (what with all their white lettering), but in the end I think they spice it up nicely.

Interesting how at a glance the frames on the different bikes basically have the same design. Don't know if it's just the current fashion trend or a form fitting function kind of thing, like the blobular shapes of most mid-size sedans these days.

That shade of blue is beautiful. I'd take that frame any day.

I personally am so sick of seeing black bikes that I love the pop of color here. Never have been a fan of white saddles and tape, and never will be but I love this bike! While I'll stop short of saying Hot, it's a great bike. I think if you put some 38 or deeper carbon wheels on here and swapped the tape and saddle I'd definitely vote Hot, but again, that's just my personal preference.
