The Drive Side is Within
Once you get some miles under your belt, get some clipless pedals for it. I finally did a year and a half ago and found a noticeable difference in my speed and endurance. Your bike is definitely a not, but I just wanted to give a friendly shout out to a fellow tall rider. It's hard to be 6'4" and have a bike that would pass "hotness" muster on this thread.
I think my Fuji might make it, at least in the budget thread, but you've posted a subaru in what is supposed to be a ferrari thread. Or something like that.

That Spooky is missing parts, so not hot.
The Specialized has shocks and nothing even resembling a big ring, so not hot.

If you don't like my platform pedals or how I took the picture, you can bite me.

Such a beautiful day in Brooklyn today mid 50's sunny crisp....
Leather seat experiment over. I like my old selle san marco caymano just fine.
25c Conti 4000s w/ reflective strips. Actual measurement of the 25c is 27mm. They look pretty trippy/cool at night - two rolling rings of white.

Ooh, that yellow bike is HOT!
So is the silver one that coasting posted. HOT.
That Spooky frame with the big Walmart welds is NOT.

Really? That is the one thing I don't like about that bike. If it were mine I would put a modern threadless fork, carbon perhaps. Not only would it be much lighter, but it would get the stack height lower for a better more aero bar height. I think a -17deg stem would look better as well with the flat top tube.

I do have the urge to at least try out painting/matching a 1" carbon fork (maybe a a easton EC90) that would drop almost 2lbs off... but then I might as well buy a another bike and work from there (hint.. I'm thinking of doing just that with a colnago master x-light).
