Bike Forums - Hot r Not

i was suggesting blue microtex.
but specalized roubaix tape definitely explains why it looks chunky.

we're just nitpicking. it's that the bike looks very sharp everywhere else, but then it's like oven mitts up front :)

i think you've done well though.

Yeah, I get my oven mitts at Harbor Freight. What, you mean you don't use oven mitts? :)

Ah, if you only knew. . . I'm actually pretty much as educated as it gets. You came here asking for an opinion, and I gave it to you. Don't be mad.

You're in the wrong thread if you wanted people to take any of those things into consideration when handing out judgement. This is the Hot 'r Not thread. Your bike will be mercilessly criticized and judged strictly on its appearance, your photography skills, and whether you aligned your tire labels with your valve stems; not on silly things like fit and saddle practicality.

At no point was I, nor am I "mad" about anything. My picture posted was in reality a response to another..the rest was me agreeing with the comment made...all until the troll in reference to dropping a ton of money in "Canadian dollars-bucks"..It certainly wasn't a "ton" of money and the US / CDN dollar have been mostly on par for the last ten years. I own houses in both the US and Canada, I know exactly where either dollar stands.

WHOOOSSHHH...

Very nice! Have you ever checked out the Lew's? I believe they have gone out of business but their wheels are sooooo drool worthy.

I've seen pictures of the LEWs but have never seen them for sale...they are nice though.

I seem incapable of taking a good picture; nonetheless, here is my latest build:

For the sake of argument who seriously uses cash anymore? I've been carrying around the same 5 $20 bills in my wallet for the past 2 months.

And there he goes, bragging about his multiple international homes and how a C59 with lightweights/Super record 11 and mad Fibers isn't a lot of money. . . We're all very impressed with your wealth. I'm sure that if we all had a gajillion dollar-bucks (US or Canadian) we could put together a pretty sweet bike too. It just wouldn't have that saddle. . . Yuk. (OK, guys, I'm done ;)

I'm not sure a Shimano crank with SRAM shifters is allowed in this thread.

More to the point, I think the red stem is overkill.

Overall, she ain't a beauty but hey she's alright.

Crappy pic, I'm not a fan of the crankset and the bottle holders are hideous... but I like it.

I'm in trouble then. My Parlee is going to have Shimano di2 with a SRAM quarq.

HOT, now with that out of the way those cages are terrible (looking), also not a fan of the crankset or the bars. I don't know why I don't like the bars exactly, just don't do it for me. The bar ends don't really help.

I'm done nitpicking now, it still earns a HOT.
