I'm torn with this. Not a fan of the red crank or the red calipers. It breaks up the otherwise all black, but I find the colors distracting instead of a nice flow visually speaking. Also looks like a zero back seatpost would be a better fit. Could possibly be the angle of the photo, but that saddle looks to be tilted down a bit much. My first thought is to give this a hot, but the more I look at it I find things I dont like.

Throw the stick!!!!
Sorry but have to go with not.
Bar tape, red hoods, bottle cages, red white and blue wheel decals, red cables, and big stem pointed up in the air just don't do it for me. Also, staging needs some work.

I really like the bike I just can't call it hot. I am pretty sure that it is the photo because the bike has all of the right ingredients.

To give you an example, I took these photos of my bike using my camera phone. They are not properly staged so please try not to overly criticize them. In other words, I'm submitting for judgement, just as examples.

LowCel, I'm too lazy to try to find your original post of your Parlee. Saw your other thread on the build. Hot! (I'm partial to Parlee bikes.)
