I'd tell you the brand, but it came stock.

It's a stock stick.

Is it carbon?

Fork decals are a little busy (hell, I think I'd like it best with no decals whatsoever), but she's hot.

Yep, you're right. I didn't see that stuff. Maybe just the popup flash. I can't find any shadows, and a 430 or 530-sized flash would have enough offset to see some, but it could just be that the flash is so low power.

I don't even care about the GT's decals, I'm still calling HOT on that one. :)

Did we really need to see that much of the garage door?

yummygooey 02-08-13 04:36 PM

it's a nice one, isn't it?

i think the bike would look better without decals, too, but i figured i'd just enjoy them while their still intact. i might replace the fork with a wound up at some point.

Very hot! The saddle looks a little off-level (tipped forward), but that's a hot ride.

Muffin Man 02-08-13 07:30 PM

It's the shape of the romin that makes it look tilted forward.

Sorry no garage door shot since I live in an apartment. Better quality/stance photo coming but for now an iPhone shot will have to do:

No bottles in the picture would make a dramatic difference. I would say possible hot pending you take those bottles out or change them.

Yes, definitely. Just snapped this one after a group ride today. It was my first ride on it. When it's not freezing cold and no 30mph wind gusts I plan to take some proper photos. Minus the bottles and garmin it sits at 15lbs 07oz. Will be sub 15 by spring time.
