I don't see how the fit can be fine. if you ran a plumb line from your knee when your pedals are at 3 and 9 you'll see there's a problem when you seat is slammed like that. Handlebar position seems fine, but the hoods look odd pushed so far back, I assume that's because the bike doesn't fit you. How do you access them from the drops? Nothing personal, this thread is 100% about aesthetics and in it's current setup, it's just not doing it for me.
I assume you're grouping me in here... I have a 2012 Argon 18 Gallium, 2010 Argon 18 Gallium Pro (frame out for repair), 2008 Colnago CLX and a 2010 Felt AR4. None of which are very common frames on the road or here on BF. This thread is hot or not, not hot or keep your opinion to yourself. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Lets see a pic of his wife... maybe that's something I'll be jealous about. :) |

As I said, I just happen to have a stash of pictures of hot bikes all taken in front of the same wall. But please do the Parlee when ever you get a chance.

^ Wow, thanks man you're really helping make this thread better! Fact is you posted a bike that isn't yours, YOUR BAD, of course someone will call you out on it. No need to act like a 13 year old.

Well the fit is a result of fashion. In order to look cool today you have to have a drop of at least six inches and todays frame geometry caters to that look. At 53 that just isn't doing it for me. So the choice was to buy a medium frame and have six inches of head spacers (and how dorky would that look?) or buy a large frame a move the seat forward. The fit is fine. I did a 100km ride on Sunday with no complaints. I may not look as cool as you, but at my age, my only goal is to avoid being dropped when we are doing 300km at 30kph.

Don't listen to the freds in this thread, if you can hang at your age you have nothing to prove to a bunch of hypercritical poseurs on the internet.
Its your money, do as you wish with it. People criticize my setup and riding style but can guarantee you that few here (or elsewhere) can sit on my wheel. JSS I have learned over time that you are fighting an argument you are never going to win, you have some nice bikes and I respect you for that alone :) Kingfishr welcome to the forum and please stay you seem like a pretty positive guy and have a true love for the sport. |
Mods take the day off?

This forum is about as loosely moderated as can be...look how long it took to shut down 2ndgen's last debacle. I'm sure its why people behave the way they do in this forum, but at the same time...its why this forum is so entertaining. :)

hell even unfinished bike builds of frames with wheels and no components can be looked at as "hot"... at least its the actual bike. but if the bike is voted not, and isn't your bike to begin with... then arguing about it makes it convoluted and pointless... the cover up becomes worse than the crime... being passive-aggressive about the whole process only exacerbates everything. |

(that was my Captain Kirk-like effort to end the stalemate by breaking a death box) |
I don't mark my territory with initials on a post-it, I pee on it - the good ol' fashioned way.
More hot bikes, please, including the NDS of that bike, UCI - that's that half-an-half jobber, right? |
