Nope. Hot bike though even though your lever angle is a bit funky.

justfitme 12-20-12 02:54 PM

The cranks could be more red or just black ...but still Hot.

Probably minus 10 mm of lenght and plus 7 deg of angle to the stem would allow to level levers... (?)

Never cared for the look of Madfiber wheels. Dont like the stem angle and dont like the crank arm color. All really nice stuff, but just doesn't do it for me personally. Not

Love it! I just sold my black November frameset to a friend and have a white one on the way. The black was sweet, but I just have a thing for white bikes.

I think that all of the individual parts are stellar, but the pic doesn't work for me - the slammed -17 stem, the (awesome but thick) brake caliper and the perspective all makes for a crowded-looking front end. I mean, I still think it's hot, but it could be presented a little better.

I could see maybe a -7 degree stem... but I love that bike. Nice work. Tons of bike bling!!!! Q-rings....nice.

I'll bite. Yeah I'm mad as hell! I think it's HOT. I'm left thinking of it like a bicycle muscle car. Looks tough.

I appreciate the comments. Couldnt bring myself to go to the trouble to slam the stem just for a photo opp, knowing it would go right back the way it was. For a 52 year old who may not be at peak flexibility, and was looking for a really nice stiff, light bike which also had geometry for week long supported tours, the fredly arrangement works pretty well. Don't have any need to turn my Roubaix in to a Tarmac. If I start tinkering with the bars, maybe some S Works or Zipp Carbon bars, I'd probably also do a different stem, and drop it a little.

The seatpost is an S Works I picked up on eBay. May replace it with a Cobl Goblr if they ever are actually available, or a Fizik Cyrano would eliminate the white, and go well with the Antares 00 saddle. Frame is also Di2 capable, so who knows what may happen someday with that. Other than that, I'm finding it to be an incredible bike. My Seven is feeling a little neglected.

Oh, the crank slipped a little, and wasn't properly aligned with the chain stay. That's another 5 point deduction from the Eastern European judge, right?

I really like the looks of the bike, the stem does take away some style points, but being older than you, to me it does add "nice rider" points to me. As for the seat post, I'll bet you can find some very light transparent smoke-gray film at a sign shop to cover white lettering on the seat post to give it the "gray on gray" look of the frame. Or color it with a gray felt tip pen or something.

Really a nice looking bike for the mature rider!

Hot, but would be scorching hot with wheels matching the fork, for logo continuity.
