Also hot, but a black crankset would make it even more hot. Because of the red white, fsa k-force light or red black edition.

One of the best looking Giant, built-up framesets I've seen so far. HOT.

Can't go wrong with BH framesets; another great looking build. HOT, of course.

Agree, that has got to be the best looking Giant I've seen in my life.

The yellow/red is a little obscure but you did the right thing by not trying to play off it. Swap the bar plugs for black ones and rotate the bars down just a touch and it will be spot on.

For what? An aesthetic pic? They may already be spot on for his geometry and comfort. They look fine from here.

I dont think its the photo.

Where'd Ginsu go? That was funny.

Also, that RB-1 is one of nicest looking bikes from the 90's I have ever seen. Usually, I don't like newer grouppos on older bikes, but you made it work. Kudos.

Correct.

The bike is hot, and likely fits, but from an aesthetic standpoint (the basis of this thread) it would look better if the bars were rotated slightly. I'm not encouraging him to do it if it fits, it was my only suggestion for visual improvement. Comfort doesn't always = hot.

Very nice. I was about to ask, but google had the answer.

Any issues so far with the Specialized Quarq and SR EPS?

Hot!

mpath 11-24-12 10:06 PM

Yup, hot.

jtwilson 11-25-12 12:23 AM

Venge EPS, super hot obviously, but mind the valve stem alignment.

BH, hot, but that cassette is downright filthy, FSA crank is a minus, and saddle ought to be more level.

CAAD10, hot again, but valve stems outta whack, water bottle, computer, and sticker are all minuses.

Let's not forget about standards people.

What other options would you recommend that are BB386?
