Those are all really heavy. These are 13.5g with bolts. I've never lost a bottle with them either.

Can we get back to Hot or Not?

What were you thinking?

Don't worry about it. I exchanged all of my sets of carbon cages that I have been gotrying out on the carbon bike. I replaced them with Elite customs about 2 months ago or better. I have not lost a bottle yet and I BOMB down hills. The weight difference is unimportant when you are talking about cages that work.
By the way I use Polar bottles for the most part. The carbon cages couldn't withstand going downhill at about 25-35 going over speedbumps/Rough sections in the road with full bottles and not work their way out. it was really annoying and REALLY dangerous. I have tried about 3 different brands. I felt like such a jackass for avoiding the Elites for the entire season. When I finally got them because I just gave up, I have never had an issue yet. And I bomb down some rough roads.

I miss my elite custom cages :( Unfortunately the seattube bosses are set up such that the derailleur clamp is right between them, so I cannot use the elite customs due to their flat back. If they had an arch of sorts, I'd go back to them in a heart beat.

Well not as hot as my 9 but in Hot Pink, the 8 is great!

super hot beautiful bike. well done

Finally, a properly proportioned bike, hot hot hot hot

That Super Six is hot.

Yup. Hot Super Six. How do you like the Williams wheels?

i don't like the paint job on the supersix, but the build and fit seem almost spot on. the tall headset in place of a stack of spacers is a nice touch.

Thanks everyone for the hot comments ;) I like the Williams wheels, I got them a little late in the season here so they don't have a ton of miles yet, but so far very happy with them. As for the paint, yea it isn't the most exciting, but actually there isn't any paint on this bike at all so i guess its ok.

You can probably use a couple of tube stem nuts as spacers to clear the FD clamp.

with new cassette, weight is 13lbs 9oz, not the 13, 10 in the photo

Is there a bike in there, someplace?

404/808 combo makes almost anything hot!

Even if the photo sucks, and the hoods are covered in cow dung.

...and has a Team post with a clashing red stripe.

works with fat snow tires with plenty of clearance left over
disc brakes
front suspension
doesn't have piss poor geometry due to the wheel size
rack mounts
drop bars
relatively cheap

You do allot of hating..picture of your perfect bike please....

Awww - is Whooshie still sore that I said that his electrical-taped bike with a collection of hot bits didn't jibe?
Oh, and don't get me wrong on the CDale - it's a ****-ton hotter than your Venge, but a clusterfeck picture and stuff like a red-striped seatpost keep it from maximum hotness.

C'Dale- Hot.
Fix:
- dirty hoods
- periscope front end
- cluttered picture
- seatpost


may I suggest you ire hot women in bikinis to clean your bike? Might just help.

I like the dirty hoods, the seat post, and cluttered picture. It shows off what everyone else's pictures does't. IT SHOWS HE ACTUALLY USES THE BIKE, instead of fondling yourself while looking at that great picture you prepped the bike for.

or maybe it shows that he spends more time weighing it at the LBS instead of taking the time to properly wash it and maintain it himself. you decide...

(no offense 3kmi. im not making a prejudgment on your riding or ability, just providing a counterpoint that cant be proven via one picture. just like the quoted comment...)
