I really like this bike. nice and clean. simple theme and colors that arent overdone. I like the set up of your bike, asthetically having the seat post higher would give it a much more aggresive appearance, but if this is set up correctly for you we cant assume anyone would adjust there seat post height just for BF pictures. picture quality is good as well, helps show this bike off. (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

Here's a pic of the final build with the -17 degree stem installed. Well under 6.5kg w/o the computer mounted.

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?

Suggestions (not that it "needs" any):

Green cable housing or Nokon (alternating...white shifters/green
brakes or vice/versa) and a Green top cap (maybe a Kustom Cap)..

Green chainring bolts and Green Fizik tape..

As well as UCI and Whoosh... Are now on trial for the murder of this thread, which is a damn shame, cause it's all the same people that helped make this thread any good to begin with. (BIKE FORUMS, not Biggest Gas Guzzler, smallest penis, look how many other forums I belong too, and oh yeah-I'm tougher than you forums) This is how credibility is lost in this thread. Not a bike next to a garbage can. But bikes owned by garbage individuals. Stay on topic boys, none of you are acting like men right now. (wkg at least shares this sentiment it sounds like.) Before I am accused of being unpatriotic or something, I am sitting next to two troop coins you couldn't get even if you reached the top of your enlisted service. What we have done in the past doesn't make a difference right now, it's what we do with our present and future that matters. Bicycle talk, retreat to the tough guy, HOG, HD, Gas Guzzler forums to continue this...

In the meantime, that Medici has so much beauty on it kind of covered up with other stuff. Parts of that bike like the drive train/stays look amazing but the wheels, tire and toolbag really ruin the picture for me. 'Should Be' Hot!

B,

It's a $5000 aluminum bike!
It's already there! :lol:

Yea but theres a difference between overkill and tacky. The way the green is now, it accents the bike nicely. The way you're suggesting the bike will scream "look at me, I'm greeeeeen!"

Oh, it goes on white, but the moment it's used, it begins to turn into "other than" white.
Plus, IMO a darker color will anchor down the top of that bike.

Then, the green chainring bolts would be awesome accents to the already green logo
and pedals and break up the black of the Hollowram some like stars in the universe.

Green housing where it meets white frame and white housing where it meets green, classy.

I could see that top cap nicely complimenting the computer and breaking up the black of the stem.

Matter of fact, I saw a nice two-tone tape job that I though would look nice on this bike too.

But of course, this is all my personal opinion. :D
Plus, all the upgrades could be lighter and stronger.
