All that is fine, function over form and all that, but this is hot or not, and all those things are ugly. It doesn't come stock with the red bits does it? I hope not anyway. The stock bike is pretty ugly to begin with... Please don't be offended, this is all just a bit of fun, and having presented your bike to this thread, expect scrutiny :D Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I wanted to hear what others thought. As far my bike, mine is the only one that matters to me, and I'm good with it, red bits and all. :thumb: |
I love the Serotta. Not familiar with those wheels, but they work nicely on the retro-modern build. BTW, what year is the frameset from?

The Serotta is hot. The color is fire.

Specialized has a unique ability to turn nice designs into ugly bikes.

Not quite as colorful as Slick Madone's ... but ...

It’s not hot, but that photo is terrible.

I think it’s quite a clever photo- hides the funky seatpost quite well. |

I really like that bike. The only issue for me is that the seat post's adam's apple is bigger than mine, and that's saying a lot. I like the glitter color and the use of red. The angles look good. The flow looks good. Sharp bike that dares to be a little different.

If you need to use photography to hide a part of the bike then, by definition, it is not hot.

I have a soft spot for Bianchi bikes but I can't stand gum wall tires. That's just me I guess. One thing that is taking away from this image is that you didn't have the camera level which makes the saddle look like its pointing down when its really not; the whole room is pointing down. Overall I like the bike though.

I've never been a big fan of the Bianchi baby blue color but that aside, nice bike. A few points when taking a picture of your bike, the crank arms should be level and for goodness sake lose that bottle cage. Go with carbon next time.

Got seatpost?

I’ll admit post is a little high as it had just replaced a mismatched 3t number so is about a cm higher than it should be . But I’m a lanky rower with monkey arms so it won’t change much :-) |

Nope, just need to hold the camera level like you did in your last post.

don’t see the issue with the bottle cage - nice, classic design unlike many ostentatious carbon affairs! |
