not really, since just about everyone hates those ****ing things, and the reynolds stickers by the valve hole can stay.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I think that particular Reynolds decal would look pretty cool when it's spinning along at high speed. I hope the cycling industry doesn't stay with the all-black stealth look for too much longer.

+1

I have the Assaults on my bike and I like the decals. I guess I am in the minority.

Damned if those aren't a nice group of bikes. I didn't see a chilly one in the bunch... so I give them all a HOT rating!

Now, one couldn't give me a wheel with no-cross radial spoke-age, but I don't hold that against a bike under review. Fashion is fleeting. Like short-shorts on a 45 year old lady...not my cup of tea, but its easy enough to fix if all else is good to go!

Here's my main bike as it sits today. Slightly updated from the last time I posted it.

Taken in my garage due to rain, and with my Galaxy S4. So angle was a bit limited.

The TCR is a nice, aggressive looking bike. I'm voting it hot, even though the orange tape implies it is only meant to be ridden around Halloween...plus extra points for the November wheelset

Orange tape for team colors. It's old and needs to be replaced. Not sure if I want to go back to black or get new orange tape.

If anything, I would take off the sticker that's across from the Reynolds logo (whatever that says). And only leave one, so it would look a little simple and less cluttered.

I also have never been a huge BMC fan. Have heard great things about them, but they're just "meh" for me. Not ugly, but doesn't call my attention. Although the new TMR01 is spectacular.

Leaving a sticker on one side would be even worse, it would look so lopsided.

I'm not a big BMC bike either, thank god.

Orange. Life is too short for boring tape. Or boring anything.

Also, you get to rock V-Colors.

That TCR pic almost looks like the bar tape is a nice, worn leather. Maybe you should go with leather or leather-look tape? I kinda like it. :)

^^ Ditto, I thought the same thing. And I liked the look. Very classy. Maybe you should consider if you can find any tape that looks like that. Had no idea that it was orange - still doesn't look orange to me...

How about something completely different?

Since I'm too lazy to click, does the rental fee include insurance? Like who pays if the bike gets destroyed in a crash?

It's definitely more pricey to rent a bike than a car it seems, but I hate to bother packing a bike and handing it over to airline baggage handlers...

HOTTT!!! Love the pic, especially the doggie passengers... :thumb:

It's orange. Just dirty orange. :)
I wanna put my Vittoria gumwalls back on, but I'm worried about flats. My first ride on them I flatted three times, prompting a call to the Wife-Wagon. The GP4000s seems to be much sturdier for crappy midwest country roads.

I looked at swapping the saddle to a Brooks, but I'm really liking the stock saddle thus far.
