IF corvid.....HOT

alexei.h 12-22-11 03:21 PM

concave-y seat stays don't appeal much to me, but i love the look of carbon lugs. IF is hot.

the moots is sweet too, the bartape really sets it off.

It's not so much for looks,

The angle of the seat stays really make or break a race bike as far as comfort and handling is concerned.

This whole page is Hot, except for the Colnago. It just doesn't do much for me.

Quite Hot!

I'll say NOT on the Corvid, nothing distinctive about it in my view.

But worst of all was shooting it against that distracting wall . . . very bad idea, that background does nothing to help the bike!

New team whip w/my Enve 45s on it. I'll probably be running "Beyond Black" 404s as my race day wheelset. Ordered in Late November, delivered by Specialized on Tuesday of this week.

That is definitely one of the nicest ti bikes I've seen. Although, I would prefer a non-sloping top tube if it were mine. Still, there is nothing wrong with that bike...anywhere. Very well done. The Master is just as nice in a different way though.

I might at some point...I like having clinchers for the most part.

That Moots fork looks weird though. I think AlphaQ once did something similar, but still, looks like it's backwards (although I know it's not).

That is a repainted Alpha Q GS-40 fork.

You put that moots through some awkward growing phases didn't you. :lol:

I'm not sure what Corvid means but I can think of a few things that come close to rhyming with it. One of the larger challenges modern cameras face is black being a color very resistant to lighting properly. Still I think that the same details I am seeing would stand out even in low light with the naked eye. Putting large areas of contrasting gloss and matte of a similar color does nothing for the overall feel of this bike. A bike this ill advised is better off continuing to be ridden through the ghetto it is pictured in. The only way I see this one being hot is if it is being sold out of the hands of someone who stole it.

What garage door?.......:D:D

I won't consider Forza's entry until he posts a picture of it with an Audi and high heeled models in his bespoke team kit.

I wont consider Forza's entry until he strikes the term "whip," from his description.

Addendum passed.

Agree about the seat stays, but lugged carbon looks nasty to me. It would be hot with a different frame?
