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

Time to call the bike snob and break out the spray paint.

And after its all flat black, put the brakes back on.

Those Easton wheels look like billboards. Are they paying you to advertise them?

It turns me off to buying from you. It comes off as very "used car salesman" to me.

Just trying to help.

I would take the Moots over all the bikes you posted. If I could have one bike or all 4, I would take the one.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. I had to sub in a white apartment door in the absence of a garage.

1. I don't get the appeal of the Moots. It's clean but lacks personality.
2. I'm amazed at how many people run carbon wheels.
3. Where are the ``not hot'' bikes? This thread is full of winners.

And NICE carbon wheels at that. Some of those wheelsets cost nearly 3x what I paid for my entire bike build!

I like your setup as it's very similar to my CAAD9/Rival build. We both need to hack down our steer tubes, too, so we can junk the spacers.

Probably something that looks like only a clown would ride (very colorful and tacky).

Anything with understated graphics moves up a few rungs on the style ladder.
The old-school blue Eddy Merckx pictured earlier was extremely nice.

I no longer have this Scapin. Same wheels, obviously

Ha! I only just noticed that the chain is partly off the ring
