Bike Forums - Hot r Not

Like I said: ride more and you will experience it... especially in the big-big combo gearing.

If you don't know something, get to know yourself, do your own research.

I like it. I'm not a fan of the large decals/logos on the wheels, but it's a nice bike.

12,000-14,000 miles per year( every year since 2003) is all I have the time for.

Personally, I take my tires off my bike before i ride ... to avoid tire stretch.

Most (not all) people who frequent this thread will judge your photo, and bike setup, not your bike.

If you are wondering on what criteria some of these critics speak of, there is (in my personal opinion) a ridiculous and unrealistic list of them here: Velominati ? The Rules

p.s. I fully anticipate receiving hate mail for this post.

Actually, this isn't supposed to be about judging the photo and setup(there's a thread for that http://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycli...ot-thread.html )

I am a huge fan of black, white and red on bikes. HUGE fan. That being said, this is a 0/10. Can't really nail anything down specific, just the package in its whole. Maybe it is the angle of the pics? Almost like it is way too matchy matchy.

Fork curve and seatstay curve does nothing for me, no likey. Like the setup, frame ugly.

BLEH!!! Hoods taller than your saddle on a lightweight racing frame? BLEH!!! So much stack on a H2 frame? C'mon, slam it, or get an H1 if you want stack. The headstack on Emonda H2 is already enormous. Slam it with a -10 stem.

By a mile margin, hottest posted since the Izalco.

Also no worries on the wheels, I ride a small bike too, wheels dwarf any frame less than size 56 IMO. Size 51, similar classic style frame, not the American/Giant weirdness with massive downsloping short top tubed compact frames.
