http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...i/P1000441.jpg 2011 Paris with Ultegra 6700 and EC 90 SL wheelset, personally, I think the bike looks fine, but not hot, I don't know what's wrong with it, any suggestions that can make it sizzling hot? |

Remove the spacers, and cut the steerer, remove the wheel stickers, change the crankset, or possibly the entire group. White hoods would probably look nice on that bicycle as well. As you say it is fine, but those changes would make it hot, so not for now.

There's a general reckoning amongst BF regulars that Shimano cranks look like giant octopi. I personally think the 7900 cranks look great, but everyone has their own opinion :)
|
7800 cranks look better the 6700 are nice too. I hate the look of the 7900
|
I love the look and feel of my Ultegra 6700 crank..
|
performance over looks anyday!some very close minded people dont understand that,they rather they have a bike that looks good but rides like dog poop.
|
cannondale, lightning, red, rotor, and campagnolo cranksets all look better without sacrificing performance. besides, this thread is heartless and shallow, in these pages: appearance>performance
|
I wish people would comprehend this a VANITY THREAD. We don't care about performance......

I usually try to be nice, but this crosses the line for this thread.

I agreed with someone mentioned about too many logos, it is too much in your eyes thing. |

Thanks for the comment, I am new to cycling, I had never been on a bike until March this year, I have to have my feet touch the ground, I am always worry I may fall, and the Pinarello size 54 is big, more like 56, that takes away some of the saddle height, but I am learning to get on and get off the bike without sitting in the saddle. The bar is a standard Most bar with integrated stem, I agree with you on the wheels, I may find something else when the budge allows.

im thinking more and more that its a chinarello and not a pinarello.

What? You are new and already have another bike with SR11 that is a Colnago and don't even klnow how to ride? At this point, you need to worry about more important stuff than how your bikes look.
It is not a chinarello, it is the real Pinarello Paris, I bought it used but in pristine condition for a good price. When I reach a sudden stop, I like to have my toe touch the ground for balance, also for get on and get off from the bike. |
This thread keeps getting more and more bizarre....
