I'm usually the one that always levels the cranks, has a white garage door, aligns valve stems, removes all accessories, and uses a dslr

Would be incredibly hot if it weren't for the gumwalls.

Disagree. I think that it looks better with the gumwalls than it would without them.

Spot on!

Gumwalls are pretty divisive. I am a fan of them personally, but after a few hundred more miles on these I am going to switch to Contis.

maybe a wet red seat post to match the stem? Ritchey makes the matching red handlebars, stem, and seat posts.

also from a pure aesthetic standpoint I've always loved the old school 1st gen sram rival (in silver) on steel/classical looking bikes. every once in a while a seller will have a whole 1st gen SRAM Rival groupset on eBay for really great prices.

At that rate, why not just get red tires (and maybe a Dalmatian to go with the fire truck motif)

Yes yes yes yes yes to all.

C'mon! Where's the bikes??

My new should've been Allez Race...A 2011 S-Works Tarmac SL3 "Astana". Running 2013 SRAM Force Groupset, 53/39 Chainrings, 12-25 cassette, S-Works Seatpost and S-Works Toupe saddle. Regular Joe Specialized 110mm stem and Easton EA70 Bars...Pretty much what I had to build up the Allez Race...Oh, and Mavic Ksyrium SLS Rims with Armadillo tires. Overall 15.10 pounds...(without the tail light). I'm .02 pounds heavier than my buddies S-Works SL3 (and he's running 2011 Red), but new stem and carbon bars, I'll be good to go...I Love how it turned out...and how it rides too...:)

That's a beauty! I will give it a HOT! Despite the light. The Astana colorway is nice and not something you see everyday. Enjoy.

I like how the gumwalls accent the Enves perfectly. HOT.


One of my favorite S-works frameset; you definitely don't see too many of these around. HOT.

Occasionally I come on over here and toss up a bike I pick up just to see what happens.

Is it me or has the 'hot or not' thread switched roles with the 'What road bike do you have?' thread?

^^I really want to go brush my teeth right now for some odd reason...

and wash my hands after pumping up those tires. ;) It has lots of potential though rich. i am sure it will come out cool.

Cannondale crest bike is hot vintage fire. You need to find this now:

Capita Thanks man I have an ebay alert set for the second that jersey pops up haha.I just got the bike shipped in yesterday and new tires are on the way as well as bar tape. Ill reposted again when she is polished up. I was just way to excited to not post it took way to long to get one in my size.

I really like the gumwall look too, but mostly on bikes that don't belong to me...

Agree on the Astana...above average S-Works hotness.

For your comments/critics please

you should have taken of that light for the photo

Thanks man... Will take note... Was wondering if it looks beta with a black saddle...

Damnit speak English, people! That took me forever to figure out because I am on my phone and the light wasn't visible.

Lol
