Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am digging the smaller Reynolds stickers on his S2. Yes, I am OCD like that.

Did not realize there was a difference in the size. They look identical to me, but then again it is difficult to tell from the angle.

Bice ride tinrobot. Keep us updated as you load the miles on. (I would go for some sleeker wheels but that's just me.

It's a Firenze with new decals (got it used, the guy selling it did the decals.) The new decals are definitely an improvement over the originals, I like them.

i like the clean looks but it just needs something to put it over the top. maybe a gold chain to tie in the frame accent color?

Guess I'll put my CR1 SL on this page too, though I haven't because I think it's a "not" and I *still* haven't cut the steer tube even though I've had it since May. (there are reasons, but this is the Hot or Not thread not the excuses-why-it's-not-hot-thread).

Just under 15# with powertap clinchers. Size 47

Venge above (to avoid another copy of the picture), not hot:
- poor picture quality, not the best angle, date in the corner;
- poor tape job - you need to use the two provided pieces of tape to cover the space behind the hoods;
- not the best choice of tape colour - go for white, or white with red details such as Fizik Dual Tape;
- remove the magnet, sensor and computer when taking a picture for this thread.

Very close to hot though.

Actually the Romin saddle sort of pushes me forward without the tilt. Also the bike isn't really leveled up in the pic so its sort of an optical illusion.....It's no Colonago that's for sure!

what the heck....here is my budget "old man" bike. I didn't realize my saddle was that discolored. It isn't as sleek and sexy as some of the bikes on here, but I ride the hell out of it! There is a Tarmac on here that looks really similar to my Roubaix.

(but again I'm going off of straight asthetics here. the wheels are a nice compliment to the bike though.
