I would probably dig the Co-Motion with white or yellow decals, zero setback seatpost, fewer spacers and wheels with more spokes.

simmer down man. you said only thing. I was just correcting. Go through this thread and tell me one page where someone doesn't point out that the wheels weren't staged, background wasnt good, chain is crossed, bike has bottles in cages, tires not centered over stems....etc. Its not like anyone is singling out your picture. Besides, even if everything I mentioned was in order its still a Not.
BTW, no matter what wheelset you you put on you Crack-n-fail, it's not "hot".
It will always look like a billboard on wheels.

Oh no....someone doesn't like my bike because I said I didn't like his friends bike and pointed out other things that weren't up to standards with the photo. I'm going for a walk along the river now. 
You know how I know you saying my bike is a not, is "genuine"? Because out of times I have posted my bike, you have never been so strongly discusted with my bike till I made a comment about the photo you posted, which obviously made you angry. BUT you are entitled to you opinion.
I'll post my bike up against yours whenever you want and lets see who takes the poll though?

My SO has a nice TT bike, but the wheelset she uses hurts my eyes, and it's got SRAM wiped all over it. A D6 with full Red, and deep Eastons is a great bike, but it hurts my eyes.

I'm not "discusted" with your bike, but it's not hot(IMO). Neither is my primary ride. You have a raging case of OCP, but I'm sure you'll get over it when you ride a little more.

if you go back and read that post, you will remember that it was a PR and had never done that. that is never the norm for me. and it was a flat ride. I dont post data because i dont even look at it myself.

more like, He asked for it when he posted it in the hot OR Not thread. One should realize by now that everyone has different criteria for what is Hot or Not. On top of the bike being Hot or Not, there are "rules" to staging the bike, which I didn't make up. Sometimes the bike is just so freaking hot that the crank arm not being in the right position doesn't matter. BUT when you have a bike that is on the fence, anything that doesn't follow the "rules" is most likely going to be pointed out.

I find this truly hard to believe. I'm not picking on you, I'm just genuinely curious. If you have the ability to do that as a PR even once, you really should be racing some of the OBRA events.

I choose not to race because I dont want to put myself in a situation where the chances of a crash increase considerably. I cant afford to fix my bike for a while if that happens. Just because I had one really great PR doesn't mean I should automatically start racing. I entered into a couple races 2 seasons ago. didnt go well for me for one and I just didn't like it. probably because it didn't go well. I have never even hooked my garmin up to my computer. Other than using the usb to charge it, I couldn't tell you how to upload the info or what it even looks like.

Oh come on man, first you insult his bike now his choice of how to ride?
Personally, I think everybody should race. It's what these bikes are made for. It's when you truly appreciate what they can do, but I understand why people don't race.
I didn't race for like 20 years of road riding and finally decided to. It was then I realized that the whole time I'd been telling myself something similar to bianchi10 about not wanting to crash was just B.S. that I made up to protect my ego from having to compete.
