Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Still not hot.

It's a nice frameset, but nothing "hot".

That seatbag needs a samsonite logo on it, but the bike itself is quite nice.

Hahahahahahahaha nice!

That bag is ginormous. I can understand a bag for those that are doing LONG road trips, but i just don't understand the need when everything can fit in your jersey. Especially a bag THAT big!

Do they have people in there like that Gary guy? If so then I wouldn't go anywhere near that place.

I remember some of those drills. They hurt.

On a completely different topic I'm shopping for my next submission in the hot or not thread right now. I forgot how hard it can be deciding on a frame.

To get us back on the subject. Here is my race bike from 2010. I have sold it but have very fond memories of it...

My cross bike. I am going with black bar tape when it's time to replace the white. I swear the saddle doesn't look this weird in real life.

I refuse to submit my bike because it's a Trek and I don't have enough saddle to bar drop for bikeforums approval. I love the bike, but it would never pass the Hot or Not test.

So i'm reposting my Giant. I've had a new Seat, pedals and new tires. Initially i was going to put Dura Ace 9070 on, but I've decided to wait for a new bike next year.




Just finished this bike. Hope you enjoy, the white handlebar/stem, that I personally like a lot, but some of you might not.

The Litespeed not so much. The frame has some funky lines for my taste but I bet in person she may be stunning.

What's up Captain Cross-chain?

The Lightspeed would be hot if there wasn't SRAM wiped all over it.
