Hot r Not

Notices
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

Yup. I just happen to find my way into a stash of hot bikes' pictures all taken in front of the same wall, with the same camera utilizing the same technique.

It is a concept bike showing off his craftsmanship, the lines and attention to detail are amazing, they are just a little too pricey, when I had one priced out before I bought my Look it was just over 10k for the frame

I was not being sarcastic. I was just hoping this would put your insecurity issues to rest.

Every picture you post is of someone else's bike. post a picture of one of those bikes in a different setting. Poser

Please tell us how to align the rear valve stem and the crank at the same time on a fixed gear bike.

Baum's GT paint schemes are awesome. I'd like a custom steel steel bike, but Baum is too rich for my blood... but you can bet that my paint job will be heavily influenced by them.

really? The crank and the wheels don't turn at a 1:1 ratio, keep turning the crank until it all lines up properly. It may take a few rotations, but it will happen.
