Why for following the meaning of this thread, and answering the request of the guy who posted the pic? If you don't agree with me fine, but most everyone else on here have eyes that work, and will agree with me. So STFU please.

Correct.

Also correct.

HOT!! I think I like the black saddle/bar tape better than mine. Yours is far more stealthy!!

I prefer the white saddle and tape. PLus I like the saddle better... Both HOT though.

Loose the cluttered background, the reflectors, get a smaller frame, loose the pump, photograph with chain on large chainwheel and small rear cog...........but you already know all this, don't you:)

I had white/white on my 09. Then white saddle, white tape, black hoods. Then black saddle, black tape, white hoods. Now I'm happy that all black looks good on this one because I never have to clean it. I had a picture of your bike saved on my phone as the inspiration for mine! What brakes are you using?

Dayum! The recent temp closure here caused this thread to get even hotter.

Classic example of how even bad press is good press.

Not

color coordinated outlet. HOT

im not sold on the threadless stem but the rest makes up for it.


HOT!!!!!!

edit:
probably my favorite "non campy" build. easy top 5 builds i can think of.

TR Ultralights (Taiwan), and weigh about 175g per pair w/ Swiss Stop Yellow pads mounted. Brakes are a bit of a PITA to set up, but work great! The Swiss Stops are a little loud when braking hard. Plan on trying the Kool Stops next.

The saddle, and the stem hurt it, but it's still hot, I say. I hate yellow bikes too, so that should mean something.

For all you Shimano fan boys there is a 7800c crankset on Ebay right now. It is the mother of all Shimano cranksets. You could put it on nearly any bike, and it would instantly become hotness.

I searched this entire thread to see if I posted my bike here. I did not find it. I know i've posted it in the "What road bike do you have" thread but I guess i'll add it here.


Trek Madone 6 Series
XXXLite handle bars, stem, bottle cages
SRAM Red / Force

Apologies if it's a repeat poster.

Hi,

Definitely hot, despite the mediocre photo. The bike deserves a much better photo.

Hi,

I really want to say hot, especially since I like most BMC bikes, and if it were just the items you listed I'd still say hot. However, even though I know saddles are a very personal thing, that style of saddle just kills it for me, so -- not hot. Sorry.

Hello,

This BMC is hot.

Yellow is so cool, which makes this one....HOT!

I had the Red color on my Venge painted gloss black instead of the original red, just to have something original...still playing with the saddle, and bar tape colors and the stem...

Treks normally dont do it for me, but this one is hot. Very elegant styling.

I had posted this photo in the Show Your Ridleys thread but posting here as well:

With the exception of that last one. This page is nothing, but hot. Whoooooooooooooshiepants, the Venge looks spectacular now. Very nicely done.

Hot, all except for the shifter placement.

Adding this to my RB-1 photo collection. :thumb:

Hotness!
