Bike Forums - Hot r Not

Here's my new one at the moment. I'll post pictures again after I figure out what decals to put on it...

I say no decals. This is HOT already.

Very very nice, according to my bias for black plastic, but I can barely make out the red on the brakes...hopefullly less banging of the knees today....

definitely a sweet looking ride and paint job...while it seems to be suffering from the "hunched over dog taking a dump" look, I still think it has hot potential...

Thank you. We did an easy, flat 30 mile ride with tons of wind today. Pretty much just a recovery ride from yesterday's ride. So, no real sprinting or climbing so I didn't have any issues with the bar. :D

Hopefully you caught my sarcasm in my previous post. That bike is very, very hot!

I think, many amnufacturers are putting less paint for warranty purposes.

Less paint less cracks in the finish. give me more black,white, green, orange.

I did. I was actually going to repost my De Rosa but its far from having a murdered out or charcoal look. And how can it when it has accents of lime green. :p

Primov and Lowcell, both bikes turned out stunningly well. Super super hots IMO!

Thank you. It weighs 15.49 pounds with cages and pedals. Considering that it is built with Ultegra di2 and a gxp spindled Quarq S975 I am really happy with the weight.

Ahem...as I recall...my guess was 15.5...when will my prize be in the mail?

The Pink Ridley Noah would be hot without the pink/red combination. I think either pink/black or red/black would have been better.
I'm not against the pink, just think it clashes with the red.

Also, the thinner top black ring on the seat tube below the top tube really bothers me for some reason. I feel like it should be the same size as the lower black ring.

A couple minor things to finish up... wire wrap the excess wires up front, chainstay protector. It was so easy to install and dial in the EPS system; it took more time dialing in the ZG brakes. I'll be taking it out for its first EPS ride tomorrow, and will take a much better pic out on the road.

I give it a hot, but I wouldn't ride it. My wife would look cute on it. I showed my wife and she gushed all over it. What did you do, did you reach your cap with Mary Kay?
