i dunno. the above mentioned cannodale is about as hot as a stock frame is gonna get. Pretty much the only way it would be significantly better is if it wasn't a cannodale at all, but instead a custom frame from a NAHBS maker.

+1. That S2 is an amazing build. And I have to add in coopercook62's Crumpton and island rider's blacked out Guru. Top 5 in my book.

Hi, surprised and humbled to be mentioned among such esteemed company and bikes. As I posted earlier, I think Chrissss's EVO is hot. Which bike is hottest? Does it really matter? Just happy that what works for me -- physically, functionally, and aesthetically -- also appeals to the sensibilities of others.

I don't have the money to spend on making my bike look hot right now though, I'm spending it on things to make me better like rollers ;P Here's the first pic I took, very newbie as it was the first day I got the bike qnd I didn't know anything about taking pics.

Ahhhh, better - the hood/bar thing must've been a wierd camera lens distortion. Much better.

The bike has serious potential IMO.

In its latest iteration (which is not really much different than the earlier iteration, but oh well):

king-tony,
BMC would be ubber hot if you swapped out the T2 cobras for some HEDs. MHO: don't care much for cobb saddles but I know they are comfortable. I assume it's for TT and not tri?

I only run if a bear or ice cream truck is nearby.

not a criticism of the bike, but the photo itself...its kinda busy. A more plain background, though not necessarily a white/beige/troupe garage door would show off your bike better.

Or a smaller f stop to blur the background.

I thought the same thing myself. Maybe if he had moved the bike 6' to the right, the snowy background would have helped the bike stand out. Hot bike reguardless.

I think it's hot, but it feels like it should have dura ace 7800 group to match the crank or a sram red crank to match the groupset. Although I have a bike thats all dura ace 7800 and a sram red crank so I guess I did the same thing. I love the dura ace 7800 crankset for some reason. It's also super light which is nice.
