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

I vote Hot, since I have a soft spot for CXr's.

I usually don't like the Specialized arched top tube, but the colors on your bike really look great... conditional HOT, but only if you remove the 300 yellow warning stickers!!!

I like it too. And adding to add, slammed and negative rise stem (-10d?). And great photo staging. Interested in camera settings too.

Those bikes have always looked way too top heavy to me- like an anorexic with bolt ons.

E: the civilian. The willier's hot.
