Not, but it has potential:

-fix saddle angle, it's pointing down
-strip those awful reynold stickers off the rims
-proper drivetrain config
-stand the bike up more vertically - it looks like it's practically laying down against that garage door

Personal preference: the logos on the frame look terrible. Reminds me of this:

Freshly updated for the race season. I'll take a tartier shot some time...

Posted this ~ 18 months ago. Lost some weight and now stands at 14.3 lbs. Not bad for a Ti frame. Flame away :)

Nice - I'd ask you how you like the rims, but I can see that you haven't ridden them much yet! ;) (I just built a set with the Archetypes, but I haven't been able to get outside with them yet.)

Fiery 04-12-13 11:47 AM

That's hot.

Would look even better with black chainrings, but now I'm nitpicking.

Generally hot. Love Indy Fabs

That has to be one of the longest seatposts ever made... makes the build feel a bit unbalanced.

Yeah, I've ridden literally about 4 miles on them so far. I've got new Swiss Stop green pads in the hopes of preserving the ano a little but I'm not optimistic. I'm slightly wishing I'd gone for the grey version as I think they might age more gracefully.

Cheers (assuming you meant my bike). They actually are black, something about the way they've caught the light has made them look greyer than they really are.

Agree on the relative hotness of this Scott (even though it isn't gray-black), disagree on the black rings in this case.

Try SwissStop black, they are gentler on rims than the green version, and they brake really well too.

And yes, I did mean your bike :thumb:

I'm also very partial to IF bikes, they are all generally hot and this looks nicely aggressive as well so merits "pretty hot" IMO, although this color combo says "blah" to me personally (maybe its the backdrop not helping either).

How are those Tune bottle cages working out, dropped any bottles?

Looks good to me. The only thing I'd do is remove the wheel builder.com decals on the wheels. But its still HOT.

Tune bottle cages have been great. Uber light ... no ejected bottles.

Grambo 04-12-13 02:21 PM

Thanks. You may have a point on the Wheelbuilder logos. I have also been contemplating painting the fork in either a gloss or matte black (with clearcoat over the matte). The Edge logos are clear coated so I would have to paint it but I have painted a couple of forks before and it's pretty simple.

I think I need more decals but it's ready for tomorrow's race.

No garage door, so I used a dam.

Hot

I don't like the bars pointed down. Saddle appears to be tilted up. That combo makes it look like your bike is broken to me.
