Haha, I saw the Trek, but it was from a while back and my browser had been sitting on the page. By the time I got around to clicking on the thumbnail it was gone... O well, apparently it wasn't Hot anyways

It did get deleted, I think you hurt his feelings.
Looked like a Trek 1.2-1.5, it was shot in sort of a overhead angle. It was placed in a stand, & the background was quite busy.
Black/blue/white colorway, 56cm+.
;P

Granted, I can understand. I'm guessing you got the bike from a Trek Superstore, which explains the 'Dale and Bontragers, and the Specialized saddle is just nice on the bum.
Level out the saddle and it'll get warmer.

This is just wrong. Cannondale frame with Bontrager wheels and Specialized saddle?

The CAAD is hot. I'm not mad on the shape of the bars, but that's just a niggle. Is that a long cage RD? Funky skewer handles too. Needs a better photo to do it justice.

This is not the "Up-to-date-tech or not" thread. I'll admit I'm a sucker for chrome forks, and if you rebadged a Denali with a Columbus sticker I'd fight its corner on here, but the red-and-yellow colouring, vintage Dura-Ace group, and leather saddle are all hot in anyone's language. My only criticism would be to title the bars forward to get the drops level. Otherwise, that's a gorgeous piece of bike.

^ What?! Motorola StarTac cell phones were blazing hot 15 years ago. Today... eh, not so much. Just because it was once hot, doesn't mean it always is. I appreciate what he's saying. I mean, I was probably hot at one point... ok, never mind. Bad example.

hot bike. but in regards to the photo itself.....maybe too much contrast. at least for me since the advent of instagram, overly contrasted photos or instagram 'look its an old photo, but really it isnt' type photos are done for me. Its the auto-tune of the photo world. not saying this is an instagram photo...i just don't like too much contrast. although +1 for have a blue door. The bike however....hot.

Take that bike to the V&C, & you'll get all the drool you can handle, & more.
Better bring your buckets.
IMO modern frames(Treks) get more hate than most of the classic steel bikes in this thread.
You don't frequent the "41" much do ya?
