HOTTT...

Love the paint on this frame, looks incredible! This is one time that I'd vote for white decals on the rims instead of the black on black tho...

Pssh. Who needs a chain?! Oh, you mean we're supposed to RIDE these bikes?! :eek:

Normally, I almost always enjoy seeing the Dogma...but this one looks kind of...pregnant...to my eye...

Nice. I give it a HOT. Reminds me of bianchi10's bike. The speed/cadence sensor is a little bit of an eyesore though. The arm shouldn't be erect like that.

I agree completely. Other than the way the sensor is set up it's certainly hot.

Well balanced bike and Hot. Only little thing would be matching saddle and bar tape colors.

R1lee 01-02-13 04:38 PM

I'm going to say almost hot.

Sensor is setup wrong. Seat should match bar tape. What happened to the stickers on the wheels?

Elevation 01-02-13 05:00 PM

Hot r Not
 
I took the stickers off, not sure why, I've had the wheels for about 2 years now. Going to put black bar tape on once the white turns all black and gross. Definitely before I start riding outside again. How is the sensor suppose to be setup?

Thanks!

After a wheel upgrade...

Looks good. I'll give it a Hot with a few notes.

The cages are too bright. I don't like the crankset. The hoods are ugly. Your steerer tube is killing it, but you knew that.

bianchi10 01-02-13 08:58 PM

red stripe tires, dont like the hoods, dont like the cages, to much wheel for my liking...

sorry, great bike but not.

jtwilson 01-02-13 10:32 PM

black cages, rotate the bars up a little bit, cut the steerer and I'd call it hot. I can get over the red hoods. The wheels are super deep, do you live in FL?

Definitely a HOT bike. Nice back drop, but wrong time of day for this shot. We need a better pic!

Black or white shoes, cut steerer, black hoods, black cages...then HOT...:thumb:

Imo...the tires actually work with the stripe on the saddle. Cut the steerer tube...looks like a photo slam.

VA_Esquire 01-03-13 03:58 AM

steering tube and cages....everything else is okay in my books. Still hot.

Thanks. I'm still debating whether to go with white or dark decals on the next set of wheels. Both wheelsets I'm considering have that option but both have the decals under the clearcoat.

at least the seat and the frame appear to match.

cycledogg 01-04-13 08:03 PM

Ace the tires! Maybe some deeper wheelset.
