this thread got nasty.

WHOOOSSHHH... 03-27-13 06:46 AM

All my bikes are a Not. Ya just have to take it and smile. It's not like you didn't ask for everyone's opinion. Everyone might not love your kids either:-)

Almost a "retro hot", except for the wire wrapped around the fork.

Maybe if it were 1972 again... But it works with the retro door...

Is it me, or is there something odd about too much of a cable loop heading to the downtube? I'm sure this one goes fast...just doesn't look pretty.

Why a compact crank/chain rings on a Tri or time trial bike? not.

I am intrigued by your wheel selection. Perhaps you could start a thread on your selection criteria, and what makes a good wheel, in your opinion. I imagine you could have many subscribers, and perhaps rack up thirty or more pages.

Oh, and they are both Hot, as an expression of personal style and functionality.

correct on all counts. the mismatched wheels are an easy choice. The box section front that matches the rear has bad bearings; the aero rear that matches the front is an eight speed freewheel. I'm well aware that this bike isn't hot. I was just stirring the pot. It might become hot if I can become OCP enough to care. Until then I'll just ride it as is.
