That Baum is amazing but I think you'd be nuts to ride Lightweights on the track given the likelihood of someone putting a pedal through your spokes.

I'm pretty sure that's not an aero frame. But I am sure, and agree with you, that the smaller rims are way hotter.

TCR is boiling hawt!!

The chain is on fire Rob. Awesome. We gotta get together for a ride. UCI's Bianchi is yet another example of perfection in vanity.

fishymamba 03-09-12 08:12 PM

Dang....that TCR is HOT HOT HOT!! Love how the chain matches with the decals on the wheels and tires.

TCR is looking good, and for me the carbon stuff is a hard sell when it comes to looks.

Bike is hot. Photo is not - at least your lens choice; makes the front of the bike caricature-like.....them's huge front wheels and handlebar :D :eek:

johnnytheboy 03-10-12 09:54 AM

my lens choice is up to apple...and the lens they decided to use in the ipone4, hence the distortion....:D
i normally shoot with a d90 with 17-50mm f2.8, but i didn't have it on me at the time....!

The solution is to step back from the bike and shoot from afar. Then take your image to a photo editing software and crop. Also line your bike parallel to the wall. Nice looking bike.

There is something about colored tires that turns me off.

This is the hot or not thread. When some bozo posts a picture so grainy and distorted that you can't tell what the bike even looks like in person, it's NOT HOT.
