I rented a Felt for a week that had Microshift. It felt (no pun intended) a bit junky. Hard to describe, but I thought it was breaking it the first few times I used the small lever, but it did work just fine.

Massive cone spacers that seem to be omnipresent OEM parts nowadays.
Colored tires and/or rims and/or hubs that make no meaningful contribution
Ditto for hoods and saddles
Barring a torch and torch mount being fitted, all Frankenbikes
Needlessly present mounts of any kind exclusive of bike computers and sensors
Any bike that is a carbon copy of one already known
Clamp on aero bars if not specifically excluded by any other guideline just so that there is no grey area in this regard

maybe we should just stick with hot or not.

Hot hot hot

^^^ I'm not a hige Trek fan, but that actually looks nice.

Ayup.

IDK, I still like the idea of paying hottubes to strip the paint, and then do just the Cervelo logo on the downtube, but like the back to black logos with just the white outline.

I think instead of a scale of 1-10. Rate it in degrees Fahrenheit. This bike would be 120deg or typical Phoenix in the summer time. It belongs to ColorChange on here.

NOT TREK (Shifters look oddly placed, no white garage door)
NOT CERVELO (computer, no white door)

its pretty clear to me what qualifies to be considered for "HOT"....after you qualify for "HOT", "NOT" is very possible.

the last two bikes are "NOT" because they dont qualify for "HOT", simple...thye are 15's on a 0 to 10..still NOT!

JoeyC68

Hot. Bonus points for the beer keg in the background.......

mazdaspeed

wtf?

ravenmore

Of for crying out loud - this keeps up I might ask that this gets shut down. Why all the complaining? This thread is a bit fluff at best. Post like this are supremely annoying. Go somewhere else dude.

ruskko

for real!wtf happening to simple hot or not and maybe some info of why its not hot jesus christ...you people need to relax!

Jandro 

This one is for you SA. Finally gave her a bath.



p.s. as close as I come to a white garage door.

echotraveler

NOT (wrong gear, garage door, is that a light under the seat?, no bar end plug?)

"HOT" aint easy, thats why you want it...

Commodus

I find deep wheels a bit of a minus actually. Unless it's on a machine that actually gets raced, it's just dentist/fred fluff.

Jandro 

Not a light, it's the clip for my /gasp saddle bag (did a century the other day). Has both bar end plugs, just roughed up tape from a spill a few weeks ago.

p.s. just bought my race license last week

Commodus

I give this a hot. Nice bike with crash damage. Not feeling the spacers though.

WhyFi

I'd give it a 'hot,' too, but damn those saddles look like the nose of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Jandro 

Truth :| It makes my taint happy, though. I think an Adamo would look worse (I need a major cutout to be comfy)... plus they have way too much padding.

Soloist Assassin

Have you ever considered a SLR Superflow?

jsutkeepspining

how wide is that? any idea?

WhyFi

I'd guess 140mm...

fa63

Actually, not sure where the 140mm on the picture came from, as Selle Italia advertise two versions: 130mm and 145mm
