HOT... but I'd put the speed sensor on the fork facing forwards to avoid pulling it into the wheel.

Love it, rode the snot out of it, never crashed it, now just look at it as it hangs in my kitchen. ;)

11 of 100 made.

i met Antonio in SF during his last US fitting tour, he signed it with a paint pen, as well as a torelli jersey. :)

One red and one green fork blade is super hot, too!!!

G'day all. !st post, 1st bike, 1st ride this morning. Built her up all from ebay. Everything you see here came in at just under $3000AU. Pretty happy with the looks, and it felt great first time out. Although, I don't know what to expect, as I haven't ridden a bike for 18 years. Hot or not? To me, she is somewhere in the middle. Went with the red, black, white theme and decided to keep the gumwalls that came with the rims. New ones would look better, and I may just purchase some in the coming weeks.

Alright then, flame away fellas and ladies! *Applies flame ******ant suit and creme from head to toe*

gumwalls are definitely back in style. Crap dude, you even staged it properly for the photo on your first post. Sure they may be some aesthetic flaws but overally, I give it a HOT.

I dont like the aesthetics of the stem. White bar tape would look much better in my opinion because it would match the saddle for 1, but also match the white transition headtube and fork. Black chainrings (praxis chaingrings) would be a nice match. Dont care for the gummy tires. (only basing my thoughts from picture, not black tires you might get in the future). Polished brakes dont distract but black brake calipers would "look" better (SEE WHAT I DID THERE!???....because...you have a LOOK bike!!! :roflmao2:lol, ok sorry)

thats getting detailed though. overall, I like the bike. I dont know if I would go get all aroused if it passed me on the road, I'm on the fence with this one.

You're on the fence of a bike that's beside the fence? :p

IMHO it's Hot, pretty great for a first build :thumb:

Congrats on a great build. The gumwalls fits in just right. It gets a HOT in my book.

I'm closer to Bianchi10 on this one...a little too busy for my taste to be very hot (at least standing still; am sure it would look hot passing me on the road)...although I appreciate the effort to try to create/maintain a color theme, and extra points for red valve stems...and showing some gumwalls since I'm thinking hard about putting some on the stealth Parlee

PharmD 04-30-13 08:58 AM

Any suggestions to increase the hotness? Sorry about the light.

flip the stem, switch out the crankset, remove the taillight for pics...otherwise it's a nice plain black CAAD 10 in my opinion

Take the tail light off. Properly stage the bike. The crank and wheel positioning are all wrong. You are on the wrong cog in the back. Get rid of the spacers, flip the stem and cut the steerer tube down. The handlebars are rotated to far up. Throw the FSA crank in the garbage. DA wheels are nice, but deep carbon wheels with no logos will get hots in here. Seat rails are shiny, go carbon.

I'm not HrN expert like bianchi, but I would think all black chainrings would work best (insert praxis works recommendation), and then a flipped stem. Other than that, not THAT much you can do besides some deep carbon wheels to completely change the look. It's nice as is though. Not hot, but nice.

I think it's REALLY close to hot. Don't like the gumwalls on a newer style bike. You could even do red or white sidewalls (I know most people on here hate colored tires, but hey, they also love the 'murdered' look, which couldn't BE more boring) but the gumwalls just look drab on this bike.

Agree with Bianchi about the stem, maybe do a white stem? Yes, it's true, white bar tape might look good, but to me it's just so unpractical that I have difficulty advising anyone to do that. Otherwise, I'll have to say great job on posing your bike and following the OCD rules on here! :thumb:

I like the look of the Look.

Only thing that looks odd to me is the Cav stem. The shape of the back of the stem looks odd not slammed with a flat bearing cover.

Old computer not using it anymore, but that sensor would not sit forward on that fork.
