Lol I know right!!??? I knew you along with many others were waiting, so I felt it to be important enough to check right away.

:thumb:

maybe give'm 6 - 7 degrees then. See if it feels ok.

Hi, only pointed out what I was perceiving because this is the Hot-r-Not thread. Function and ergonomics are secondary here. ;) Obviously, I need to recalibrate my eyeballs. bianchi10, thanks for being as OCD as I am. :D

Not.

Not. Needs some work.

Agreed- needs work.

Mine. Sorry, my white garage door is as filthy as the ground right now... Stupid, giant city tree... :notamused:

^^^ Hot. Nice Quarq. Are those tires 25s?

ETA: DA9000 as well?? Nicely done.

S-works....Hot

Just brought the Parlee home today, no time for outdoor shot so you will have to bare with my kid infested home. Times like this I wish I still had my fill flashes and reflector panels but I did as best I could with equipment I had. Once the weather gets better I will do some outdoor shots.

I think I would have rather seen a black saddle but I still give it a hot.

the 9000 crankset is ugly on its own, but on a frame, I like it better than 7900.

Yessir, 25s & DA9000.

Thanks and Thank you for your service.

It will have a black saddle, the one on it is a test saddle till I finally decide what I want, the SLK was phased out and it as my go to saddle.

I've got a near new SLK sitting in a trade pile

Conditional Hot- pending better pics.

Yes picture sucks

That S-Works is most definitely hot! The quarq on the S-Works crankset is very appealing

Whenever I see "S-Works," I'm always imagining Sean Connery saying "I'll take sworks for $400, Trebek"

Parlee hot, picture not!
S-works smoking hot!

RaceVW, I think the Secteur is a lovely bike, but for the purposes of this thread not so much. That smart phone holder, yucksville, and that saddle woof! I jest, use whatever is comfortable and functional but remove them from the pics :)

this is hot. can't wait to see some better pics.

The S-Works ... waaaaay too much white lettering. It looks like a rolling billboard. Tone it down by removing the wheel decals. May be an all white seat. NOT ... yet.

I didn't realize there are so many rules to taking pics of my bike!

Ha! Only on this thread, frankly I may be too scared to post once my build is complete

My general rule of thumb for this thread is this - if I saw a particular bike at Peets on a Saturday before the fast group would I do a double take to check it out. If so...probably hot.

In the case of the secteur my thought would be - 'this guy with the disc brakes better not knock over my bike before this ride starts'

not hot.

Nothing against you it's just the Hot or Not thread. It isn't the post a picture of my bike thread. It's all about image.

Some things you need to change:
Flip the stem
Slam the stem
New Saddle and level it
Fix your cables
Get some clipless pedals
Get rid of the fred phone mount
Remove the dork disk asap

Things you did right:
Valve stems lined up
Tire labels lined up
Chain is in the big ring
bars are set level
