Thank you.
i would post a picture with the "old" black wheels but photobucket is down. The new silver wheels (tubular) are not laced up yet. I've been putting it off because I had a stock of clincher tires to go through.
edit: photobucket is back up. Here she is with the wheel and saddle that are not on the other bike.

What's that spaceship building under the pool?
Is that a Soul bike represented by two pixels there in the background? Hot!

Speaking of "beat to death", I fully expect to be beat to death for posting this in "Hot or Not", so do your worst.
I just finished this for my son, he's a "fixie hipster" that I'm trying to bring over to the dark side. Sooooo... is this hot in a "hipster" sort of way?

It is not bad, but it is not hot. You get an A+ for trying to bring him to the right side, though.

^That's a NOT, imo. There's nothing hot to set it apart. It's just too bland, and not bland in a 'cool' way. Also, the chain ring looks like it's a pewter color? And doesn't match anything? Or maybe that's just the light... But again, props for efforting to bring your son along with you.
Now that Tommasini has enough style points and chrome bling to make it hot, although I confess I hate the gum walls. Yuck. With some black tires or even gray and I think it would get a 'hot' from me.

I'm gonna brave the HrN with the new bike. Just finished building it up today. Was originally going to go with black rims, but Velocity was out of black so I went with blue.

I like a bit of color (just not Bella Donna). That blue is very well played.

I'd scoot he hoods up a tad, rotate the bars down a very tiny bit, and replace the blue tape with black.
Nice bike.

Yeah Sram loves a big loop. Some cables if they are stiff will not shift properly with a loop smaller than that.
