I can't call it hot, but only because of one thing - that bulbous Shimano crank...I guess my pet peeve are Shimano cranks, they're just hideous with one or two exceptions. I'm not a CF guy and I'm not usually into straight bars, but it's such a clever build that it works for me. This is a case where the sum is greater than the parts.

yeah...the shimano cranks are fugly (and a pain to work on). i was considering the 6600 crank but finally went with the 6700 because i like to imagine that i can feel a difference in power transfer. i somewhat regret the choice...

i ran p35s on this bike for years but started using race blades because i like to take the fenders off when it's dryish. (i have a rain bike that wears fenders year round.)
