Very easy to figure out three point scale denoted by the following symbol with three being hot like below.

Don't bother with him....whoooosh is the typical military guy that lives in Virginia; ******. The good thing is the longer they are in the military the better they are. Rockstar wheels on the brotruck mall crawler.

I like it, but the bars/gel bar tape, and lack of pedals earn it a "not."

I know, if I have to do it again, I will choose something like 3T or Zipp, it's good for now, don't want to spend any more money on it.

Mansram01 12-31-11 07:02 PM

Hot, OK, and Not.

tomng1989 12-31-11 07:03 PM

Sorry, as much as I like Italian bling, I gotta give that a "Not". I think bike companies need to stop thinking of their customers as dolts, and not put a reminder on every tube of what brand of bike they're riding. Just my 2 cents.

miyata man 12-31-11 07:13 PM

Most of the distinctive looks that existed with steel and aluminum have morphed into generic frame design. I would bet that if you stripped 5 1K carbon bikes of all paint and brand markings, any chance of determining their identity would hard to come by. I'll go one better, a Pinarello and 4 knockoffs would evade all but someone with strong personal knowledge of the name brand frame.

They're called e-bay frames.... Real companies HAVE to brand their bikes otherwise it's not worth their time in development.

EKCooper 12-31-11 07:47 PM

Yes, I think Hot!

plpete 12-31-11 08:20 PM

It will be hot as soon as the chunky bar tape is replaced with something like Fizik, small cog in the back, crank positioned like in the last photo... oh and you're missing pedals :)

Agree. My personal tastes however, prefers that the manufacturer name be painted once, or maybe twice on each side of the bike. The overwhelming majority of manufacturers do just that. 4 or 5 logos is overkill IMO.
