Well, this does win an award, but certainly not in the hot column.

Recently picked up this 70's Peugeot Touring bike. It's a rocket. Fitted it with some lightweight fenders and use it to bomb around the city and get to class etc. Not sure of the exact model. Let me know if you recognize it. |

I actually agree with you, I do like some color in my bikes. Black is ok if it has some accents, imho. But the accents make the bike. And yes, I do love the Orbea Orca look but... not in BoB |

stared at this in the window of the LBS for a while. Friend called yesterday and offered me a deal. Guess my look is up for sale now.
Fit is close but I think I'm either going to shorten the stem a touch or change the bars to a shorter reach. And I oversaturated the photo, I'll fix it later. Oops http://gambrell.smugmug.com/Vehicles...IMG_7899-L.jpg |

1985 Cannondale Sr500
Heres my newly finished 1985 Cannondale SR 500. Now, I would say it is much closer to a SR900. Powder coated Outer Space Blue Sparkle (it has pearl and gold flakes in it) The photos dont do this color justice. Designed and applied the decals myself. Note the wheat stalks on the fork were a personal touch for fun (I live in Kansas and no, its not that flat). Almost a full Shimano Sante 7 spd group on it. Please if anyone has a set of Sante brake levers they dont want let me know! Vintage Selle Italia Turbo saddle. Shimano RS20 front wheel and Shimano RS10 rear wheel. Continental Ultra Race tires. Vintage cotton cloth bar tape. I also have Shimano 600 aero seat post on the way. Let me know what you guys think this is my first build of a vintage bike

That Specialized is generally nice looking, but compact cranks, wide range cassettes and deep carbon clinchers are not hot to me.
The Cannondale is close, but the hoods are a touch too low. Also, while I can understand why white rims seemed like a good idea with the Sante stuff they're a little over the top. Actually, on closer inspection they're silver. They just look white in the pictures. Maybe just something shallower? |

That SR500 is gorgeous. I'd ditch the wheel decals though.

2012 Supersix Ultegra. First time I think I'm ready for judgement. Go easy on me:D Pardon the poor quality pic, and mess. My kids run the house. |

Really liking this Cannondale. As mentioned the only thing I'd do is lose the decals on the wheelset. Other than that, :thumb: |
