If everyone "let it be" there would no longer be any communication on this forum. I see no harm in disagreeing with someone as long as its done respectably.

But unfortunately, it's not "hot".
To be "hot", you'd need to pick one or the other, silver or black, for the seatpost, stem, brake calipers, & drivetrain; probably needs some featherweight carbon aero wheels and tyres w/tan sidewalls; and then it'd have to be a super-high-quality magazine-quality photo.
Lovely bike, though.

Simply because that’s the back door of the shop. It’s just a tradition; it has its own twitter hashtag. No real aesthetic reason. We took a lot more photos throughout the build, but that was my favorite.

Sweet bike, I especially like the colour you picked for the bar tape.
But unfortunately, it's not "hot".
To be "hot", you'd need to pick one or the other, silver or black, for the seatpost, stem, brake calipers, & drivetrain; probably needs some featherweight carbon aero wheels and tyres w/tan sidewalls; and then it'd have to be a super-high-quality magazine-quality photo.
