thanks for the info.
ive been picture whoring due to the new crankset so i just as well throw some up here too. i just got record 10spd ultra-torque cranks on my scattante. for those that wonder why the frame is overdressed, the frameset was a highschool graduation gift from my dad. he wanted to get me a specialized but is unable to work due to a military injury. i keep looking at replacing it but dont have the heart to at this point.

record components on a relatively inexpensive Taiwanese frame is not hot, it may ride nice but this thread is about vanity, no one is stopping you on the road and asking about your bike

and you are wrong. i get a lot of comments about this bike on group rides. less informed people thing it is really expensive and more informed people ask how it rides or ask what the back story is.

yeah, i wanted others opinions on the appearance of my bike. that is why i posted it. you could call it hot or ugly and it wouldnt change my opinion of it.

we really don't need to take up multiple pages bickering back and forth about an aluminum Scattante in a thread where 65% of the bikes are greater than $5k. I happen to like the Scat myself TGB, but can totally understand how people say it's a little bland for THIS thread. Either way, I am sure it is a sweet riding bike, but a Honda with an AMG makeover is still a Honda. (Just a nicer one)
However, pretty much all the bikes on the previous page I would take home to ride like the hottest dancer in the strip club. I love going through this thread every so often just to reinvigorate my motivation for improving, both myself and my bikes.
