Rabobank paint gets me hot.

Crank makes me wanna hurl, though.

Not many bikes that have shimano cranks can do it for me. that giant is not anything different. Other than that, I kind of dig it for being different than the stealth black bikes

That's pretty much how I felt. Not everything needs to be red, white and/or black.

Bump. Only needs a different crank and trimmed steerer and it's superhot, while it's hot as it stands.

NOT - its the seatbag...looks SO out of place on tat bike.

NOT!!!!

Damn cheap ass plastic bikes all look the same.

Orange dust covers on the valve stems...that's cute!

Why you renting a bike?

Hint: Nothing is blooming in Halfspeed's town.

A few changes since the last time I posted in here. Gravel grinder mode (Record Hubs to Campy Barcelona rims with 27 Pave's glued up and King SS cages)

What bars are those?

Deda short and shallow

Visiting family in warmer climes and a good rental is better than the hassle of traveling avec velo.

Seat bags look bobo on ANY bike.

Makes sense!

Wow, is that the new Giant aero bike? Pretty dang sweet!

How much is rental? Renting bicycles seems more expensive than renting cars usually...

Frikkin' HOTTT! Looks like a custom painted fork; what fork is that? AWESOME

hot.

Cost was $65/day at this shop for this bike. Try rentabike.com and velolet.com.

You guys can give me your worst, I won't be upset.

I still have to cut the steerer, but haven't ridden it enough to decide on stem position yet.

Funny thing is I've been riding on my heavy PT wheel and throwing whatever front wheel on there for a while so I noticed the air was way low on these tires.

Hot!!

The trees are budding, the hostas are coming up and the grass is green. Still nothing like the azaleas in the picture, though.

those god awful stickers (damn near the same ones that came on my wheels) have GOT to go. cut that steer tube too.

:lol: I hear you on the stickers, but it makes them a pain to sell them.

I ride on heavy 32 spoke wheels (powertap) most of the time so I'll probably end up selling them sooner rather than later.

I'm looking for something negative to say, but the stickers are about it for me too. I've never really liked the looks of these BMC machines, but this one has some potential. You can always find some aftermarket decals to put back on if you need to.
