Bike Forums - Hot r Not

Sorry but have to go with not.

Bar tape, red hoods, bottle cages, red white and blue wheel decals, red cables, and big stem pointed up in the air just don't do it for me. Also, staging needs some work.

Just put new Thomson handlebars on. The white saddle kinda blends in to the garage door.

I really like the bike I just can't call it hot. I am pretty sure that it is the photo because the bike has all of the right ingredients.

Cloudy day and took the photo with my Iphone. It's the only camera I have. Any suggestions on how to improve?

The bike is out of focus, also the bike is angled slightly. Think it would help if the front wheel and rear wheel were closer to the same difference from the garage door. I know it sounds like nitpicking but it does make a difference.

To give you an example, I took these photos of my bike using my camera phone. They are not properly staged so please try not to overly criticize them. In other words, I'm submitting for judgement, just as examples.

I like the red accents. Looks great in my book. HOT.

Well done. I like the mix of colors on this frameset, everything flows on this build. HOT.

Would be hot with a silver stem and crank, but I still like it

Close enough for me -- hot.

LowCel, I'm too lazy to try to find your original post of your Parlee. Saw your other thread on the build. Hot! (I'm partial to Parlee bikes.)

Thank you. Here is a better staged shot.

Hi, updated photo with SRM on Hollowgram crank arm:
http://www.pbase.com/cleavel/image/1...8/original.jpg

Bike rode nicely -- rider, not so much (as evidenced by power data :p).

In case you don't remember, it's a 2012 SuperSix EVO with Record-10 derailleurs and brakes and an assortment of other parts that I favor.

Very nice, hot even. Are those bars comfortable like that?

Also looks like a zero back seatpost would be a better fit. Could possibly be the angle of the photo, but that saddle looks to be tilted down a bit much. My first thought is to give this a hot, but the more I look at it I find things I dont like.

Definitely just the angle, the saddle is pretty leveled. :thumb:

Gonna have to say NOT, too much color going on in too many places.

Hot, although I would prefer a black crank over the red. I'm getting this same frame and glad to see what others have done to it. Is that the stock handlebar? Looks like a fairly big drop.
