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

Wow...they get an "A" for different that's for sure.

OK....if we had to pick just one, which one would it be?

I think the fighter jet version.

"this program offers our customers the chance to fully tailor the design of the frame to their desires."

These are not factory paint jobs, guys.

I've seen the jet fighter paint scheme on Cervelos before. A favorite among the tri-folk. What don't you like about these paint jobs? That's what custom jobs are for.

I don't much care for the lightning but I love the fighter jet and also like the 9/11 tribute. Plus the idea of a fully custom paint job that dosen't void a warranty since it is factory done is pretty cool.

Whew -- IMHO, the planets one is not too bad, but some of those other ones give Landshark a run for tackiest paint around. Landshark does still win with the silliest/hokeyest name around, though.

These are custom paint jobs, NOT stock ones. And BTW Hot Tubes has an AWESOME Junior race team. If you ever meet any of them be prepared to get your socks blown off. One of there junior riders this year won the 15-16 Road Nationals in Park City. Truly fast guys.

Yucko, what a way to defile a truly beautiful frame. Might as well paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa.
