New guy here, wasn’t sure what to expect with a title “HOT R NOT” and 5 freakinmillion views. Ah well, here’s my ‘02 LeMond Tete de Course. Built for comfort, she’s my Titanium Lounge Chair. And in case you were wondering, “No, I couldn’t fit another spacer under that stem”. I tried.

The last two bikes... smh... I can understand being happy with or even proud of just about any bike, but the question is "HOT or not?" Not "does my bike look OK?"
Come to think of it, maybe the latter would be a better title for a thread like this....

Regarding the Lemond and its pictured chain position, I'm guessing you had to ride it up some stairs to get it to where you took this picture. As stated above, it is as much about the presentation as it is the bike in Hot r Not.

Nice! Always like seeing a Titanium Lemond. However, this thread is as much about how you take the photo as how nice your bike is. Photos should be taken from the drive side, chain should be in the big ring, etc. Follow the examples from previous photos. There is a different thread where this photo belongs:
What road bike do you have?
What road bike do you have?
Very close!

Seems to me that it could use some more yellow to match the Specialized decals.. maybe yellow hoods or yellow saddle edges or tip... or yellow pedals.

Any particular reason why you chose to take pic with red garage/storage door? It's a hot, flashy Allez but it makes the bike look a bit camouflagy..unless that's what you were going for.

So hot that it should not be viewed by minors. XXX
