The bike is comfortable as is, maybe later in the year I will remove the spacers. I honestly don't like to see the excess tube on top of the stem, but I am afraid to cut it.

blah blah blah everyone knows the s-works would be hot if it was taken according to the regulations of the hot or not photo UCI district 2's rules. Let's move on to more bikes.

You guys must be kidding.

+1, though I think whoever Art is should keep is teeth off other people's asses.

bike for the wife (who's 5'4"). I found it then stripped it down to the frame, cleaned, greased, put in new cables, and then tuned it... but then she wanted a "pink road bike".... :mad::twitchy::...

I'm happy that it only lasted 5min on craigslist (I sold it to this awesome young military guy... we talked for about an hour really good guy).

back up, use a longer lense, open the aperture. It also will allow you to keep proportions in your front and back wheel and blur the backgound. This way you remove the distraction and keep the bike in proportion.

However, your biggest no-no is cutting off the RD and crank. It just jumps off the page like cropping of the best parts of nude.

Otherwise I like bike. 54cm?

Damn, that's HOT!!
(It would be even hotter with the right color bar tape, so that's why you only get 2 exclamation points).

it had a brown brooks saddle on it for my wife...hence the brown tape. but again, after I did all that work... she said she wanted a Føcking "pink bike"... I never did take pictures of the bike with a brown leather saddle. The above pic was for the aforementioned craigslist listing.

I wish I could just get my wife on a bike. Pink or otherwise.

Well done. Very HOT. That might be the hottest bike on BF! Is that a Sram crank with the paint stripped? Looks great!

alexaschwanden 04-20-12 11:28 AM

Great Cervelo.

I like that Cervelo, but nothing about that bike makes it the hottest bike on BF.
There's plenty of much sexier Ti bikes out there, not to mention the Baum bikes and Firefly bikes.

I didn't even know what an SLC-SL cervelo was until I looked it up on google images. Its a sexy cervelo for sure, but yours is SEXXXXYYYY!!!!!! I love those wheels, LOVE, the frame, Love the set up. Not to many cervelo's I like, but I would save up for one of those in a heart beat!

Hows the ride? what little research I saw on it, people said that it was a fairly rough ride?

I dont think they make that anymore but...

"whats the retail on one of those?"
