Get a flickr account and link from there. I think that there size limit that they'll display on a free account is 1600 wide, or so.

Spying on that Look bike from the other side. What do yall think?

This is my go to bike. It is 16.1lbs with everyting including the water bottles and electronics, It can lose 2 lbs so EZ, But I like it as is. I wish that I can show a good side picture. Every single piece of metal you see is either anodized gold Titanium, or plain titanium. Custom pedal spindles, titanium. And so many nice things on it I couldn't possibly name them all. Oh yeah , every bearing on the bike is full ceramic, Even the headset. I want to show my other bikes, they are much lighter and faster, but this is and will always be my baby! If people don't like it, so be it. I do, and I guess that is all that counts! Last but not least She is a prototype, a 3rd, so I doubt any one will find it on line.

Well, we'd love to see it... waiting patiently for a good photo from the side showing the whole bike! :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Ferrari fan (been attending F1 races wearing all red for 12 years) and I love high end bikes, but that thing is a bit much with the logos and the chrome cabling. Nothing wrong with owning your dream bike, and it's certainly a fast ride, but I just don't like auto manufacturer logos on bikes. It's the same reason I dislike the Lamborghini/BMC Impec, the S-Works/Mclaren Venge (though at least that bike was partially developed in the Macca wind tunnel), and the otherwise lovely and desireable GMC Denali. It seems like a lot of markup for a brand association that really has nothing to do with the manufacturing or performance of the bike. The only way it would look cool is if it were mounted on the roofrack of an F40-

It's good that you like it then! I don't. At all.

It has nice stuff hanging on it, but I don't find that one attractive either.

Please tell me that you just put the bike together and still need to dial it in.

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=294234http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=294235http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=294236I don't know why the gold does'nt show? But all metal is gold except for the DA7900. I guess I don't even need to post my DI2 Bike because it seems that none of the 2 bikes that I posted will get any kind of love what so ever. My last bike is only 15 lbs with everything on it.

Nah, it fits me perfect . the tube slopes at the back and makes the seatpost seem very long, it is an ISP frame, look at the height of the seat to the handlebar height.

Those two Ferrari's are odd.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are these Chinese frames? It's odd that you refer to each bike by its group rather than its frame.

The forks on the red frame appear to be pinarello and seem better suited to match the pinarello looking seat stays on the black one.

Both bikes appear to have the Ernesto Colnago decal when clearly they are not colnago frames.

Like I said before , no love at all. Well back to lurking status. But before I go, the origanal fork is leaning against the wall behind the Black bike . It was so stiff that I changed it out. And sent that out with the frame to get repainted since I had a young daughter who found a sharpie and decided to decorate it. the origanal color was yellow and naked. The Frame will jar out your teeth, it is as I said before a prototype as shown on the frame. it does not have a forgiving strand of carbon on it. when you get off it you want to throw it! Then you look at your results on your Garmin and wipe it off and kiss it! So back to gawking and leaving judging and riducule to the experts.

You don't have to go back into hiding because some people on the intarwebs didn't like your bike. I know my bike isn't hot, so it's not in here.

Thick skin is good to have, especially on this forum.

Good post, BUT what about the brand/provenance of these frames.... I mean, if you posted them here the least that you can do is answer that.

I think the black bike is smokin' hot. I'm digging the aesthetics. The red one? Not so much. I fail to understand the infatuation with gold-colored chains and other parts. They remind me of...

...but to each his own.

Well, according to the red one, they're made of Aluminium-Carbon Fibre-Ceramic-Titanium-15.

No idea what that means, though.

my question was rhetorical, a simple yes they're Chinese with Ferrari and Colnago stickers would suffice. Personally I think it's cheesy to put stickers on a frame and try to pass it off as something it's not, but it's your ride so do what you like with it. You did post in the hot or not thread so you must be looking for a critique. I'm gonna go with not solely due to the decals. okay not soley... I don't like the wheels or tacky gold either. :D Suck it up a bit. I had a roubaix posted somewhere in this thread that received a resounding not.
