Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't think you really know what you're looking at.

Vettes are rubbish. Well, unless it is a Z06, or a ZR1. I almost like Audis, except for the electrical problems, and that they are a total pain in the ass to work on. That picture just really isn't very good. Poorly staged not even on the drive side for crying out loud. Not a bad looking bike, but the picture does it no justice. The fact it is white doesn't help the bike much either.

(Wish you wouldn't have cutt off front wheel though.

Even though this bike doesn't give me a "WOW" factor, I would still stop and look at it to appreciate its beauty. I give you a HOT

My road-oriented hybrid. Btw, it has a ~6cm saddle to bar drop, which is kind of hard to see in the picture.

What do you guys think about this shot? Bad angle? Good angle?

K2 = not hot. Because of the amount of slope they designed into that top tube.
