I'll give this one a shot. It has Di2, but not only that it was not installed properly, and the battery is still visible. The yellow wheel stickers. Rotor cranks aren't exactly visually appealing. The excess stem needs cut, and it is staged poorly. Fix all that, and it would be quite hot.

That's like saying my girlfriend is really ugly, but she is good in the sack, and has a great personality. At the end of the day, that stem looks like a steaming pile of cow dung. Every time you post that bike you get the same response. Why don't you just buy a new stem already?

@Kingfisher: I was under the impression that when measuring kops like you are in the picture, you are supposed to place the front of the knee over the pedal spindle, your string and the red line seem too far back at the knee to me. (that would likely put your seat farther back). The bottom of the line and the plumb bob also seem forward of the spindle/metatarsal head to me, which would also probably push your seat back some. Just my 0.02.

How did we get the point where we are now discussing questionable fit theories in this thread? There are plenty of threads about bike fit. Why is this being discussed here?

Oh yeah - stooopidy hot.

way too tall to be hot. its not nearly long enough to prevent a rider of that size from losing all the venge watts.

100% photographic evidence that you probably need to move your saddle back.

Good point. What is that a 2-3cm drop? What good is an aero frame when you are sitting straight up?

I feel bad being the reason why this poor guy joined this forum, he was perfectly happy at ww.com where everyone loves each other and every bike is great

Unlike the Ridley with its arched back look, this bike has absolutely nothing wrong with it aesthetically. I give this an unequivocal HOT. I don't even care what gear it's in. Yes, I even like the 'system' look of the stem and crank.

Plus, go through all the trouble and expense to get an aerodynamically engineered frame but then put on wheels that have been proven sub-par in aerodynamic testing... and get shifting that is supposed to be the best of the best especially in the front and put on some boutique crankset. This bike reeks of purple anodized parts in a new millennium.

i did qualify it with a "probably." if thats comfortable and powerful then good, but id definitely at least try moving down and back from there.

full disclosure: i recently moved forward and up and and am much happier for it. im still farther back than that though.

2cm of drop isnt too bad as long as youre stretched out a bit. that is more than 2 or 3cm, but its far too short and well into sail territory assuming normal proportions.

I've seen one of those some place before. :D

How do I know that is your's LC? You do not have a sign on it! :)

Hot.

That is hilarious. Hot.

Hey Low Cel: Can you nip up to Canada and take a photo of mine? Perhaps then it will attain the coveted "hot" status.

Edit: Woo hoo, I got a "hot". Thanks UCI!!!!!

Never been to Canada so sure, just send me a round trip airline ticket and I'll be right up.

If I was going to steal a picture of a Colnago to claim as mine it would be a much more expensive one.

True that!

And by the way, I do not need your photography services as my bike has been deemed "hot" (even if for the wrong reason). Thanks for the offer!

get rid of the ugly stickers on the wheels and the sign then it would be Hot.

The sign is gone.... thought about debranding the wheels but decided not to. (Your Look is smokin hot by the way!)

Lets start with ugly and heavy wheel set, get rid of the stickers (how do you name a wheel set pro lite and have them weigh 1900g? http://prolitewheels.com/cgi-bin/Web...a/page?id=7410) White handle bar tape and white seats are for people who do not ride and are never hot. Just want to mention that the frame is cheap and only a 12k carbon weave you can buy a complete 105 bike for $1400.00

those wheels are horrifying, haha.
