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

Hottest Road Bikes of the BF

Post a pic of any BF member's bike that just "does it" for you. Only the best of the best!

Rules:
1. You cannot post your own bike.
2. Please give credit to who owns the bike.
3. This is not the "Hot r' Not" thread. Only hot bikes, please.

Here's the bike that does it for me:



Where's that emoticon for the guy drooling on his keyboard?

Belongs to BF member kimconyc.

Peoples definition of hot varies from person to person.
There's still going to be judging, & criticising the bikes posted here.
What makes this different from the Hot or not thread other than not being able to post your own bike(s)?
I like the idea but...

This is the 41, where everything is "41ier"

I really just wanted to be the author of the coolest picture thread ever on BF. Thanks for squashing my dreams.


Actually, I was hoping for a haven of hot bikes, where you don't have to wade through the pictures of 1986 Schwinns with couch-like saddles and bars high enough that my 90-year-old grandmother would be comfortable. A place you could come to just to see the really nice stuff. And where we could show some appreciation to the owners of said hot bikes.

Oh well, it is the 41 after all. I guess we're off to a strong start.

Just giving you the standard 41 treatment!

These are not my bikes, but they are for sale, & I had to have a Look at them.




Love the stealth look of the black, but I have a place in my heart for the Team Canada motif.




We've built up two gorgeous Look 695 framesets

Medium Team Canada limited edition with Sram RED, Zipp 303 clinchers

Large Black on Matte Carbon with Dura Ace 7800, Reynolds Storm clinchers.

Both hovering around 14lbs.

Curiosity of Velocity Cycles.

Then you're an attention *****. Still don't see the difference between this and "hot or not" thread that's been around forever other than you're posting someone else's bike.

I'm too lazy to go find hot bikes, but I'm sure I'll post some up eventually.

You're too kind!

all of @johnnytheboy 's bikes should be in here too.

In the meantime, I'll post one of the bikes (I don't believe its his) that he posted in the Rig Porn thread in the Fixed Gear section.
