Love the gum walls. Hot - on condition of some fresh black bar tape, removal of seat bag, and ideally some different bottle cages.

i have some King Ti cages on order that I might check out. The bike has fresh white tape that was double wrapped.

Photography critique done.

Now that it's been demonstrated that you don't know what you're talking about? Agreed.

This was taken at Peace Valley Park near Chalfont, PA this morning. Don't mind my mismatched bottle cages and my quick releases not lined up :)

Sigh...

Welcoem to BF. Good for the "What road bike do you have" sticky thread. But not here in the "Hot or Not" thread. You'll have to put in more effort staging the shot, and have thick skin for the inevitable comments afterwards.

Hints for this thread: take the pic on the drive side, chain on the big ring, crank in 9-3 position, take off waterbottles and saddlebag. And yes, we mind the QR alignment. Garage door preferred but not required. As it is, not hot.

It has the potential to be very hot with the few changes mentioned above.

Ridiculous. That shot is as close to a professional shot as I have seen on this forum. The angles, lack of shadowing, coloring are just great. I realize that this is a matter of aesthetics, but on this one it is clear you either have no sense of the artistic or are simply deluded. Nice shot waterrockets.

Too much clutter.

I guess this thread is a new place for Photogs to "crtique", & banter...:rolleyes:
Time to close this thread up, or change the title to Hot or not Photos.;)

Just like the bikes, not everyone will have the same opinion.
You either like them, or you don't... No use in trying to changes someones opinion.

I'm all disoriented, it's facing the wrong direction and this prevents me from recognize any inherent hotness.

i'd rather ride my ambrosio nemesis rims with vittoria rubber rather then my zipp 303/404 mix. The ride is smoother.

I'm at your service. Which is it? Or maybe we could rename it "Argue about what's on topic" ??

If you find slightly off-topic banter a problem, you may want to go find a different Internet, for your own sanity.

Your the mod, so you can choose what you'd like to change the title to.

Yeah, I should have used one too. Broken finger -- lazy typing.

I hope it's not an idex finger, that would make stopping harder. ;)

to each their own, but for vanity sake the 404/303 mix would look better.

I may be the only one that thinks this... but I really like bikes with bright neon bartape that doesn't match the rest of the bike, particularly if the rest of the bike is rather plain, i.e. matte black or black/white. Maybe it's the outlandish statement that gets me... like this:

btw: I'm just a little bit of a fan of hers. :)

Right ring finger. Smileys are likely to look like this: p_ because the splint is doing some of the typing
