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

^^HOT. Matching seat and handlebar tape is nice, but given the bike is a full mix of white and black I think its just fine.

I like the bike. (Although, I've never been crazy about white bikes(Crest aside, of course) I'd say close to hot, but a few issues. Lights, of course, but the bike frame appears too small. And crazy high seat post to compensate, which looks strange to me, but maybe it's just me... That's my .02

You definitely should look into a bigger frame.

Crank position is fine...valves are at 12o'clock instead of 6o'clock but I can forgive that.
Only thing I'd change would be black brakes instead of silver.

crank is in acceptable position. most do 3 O'clock but aligned with the down tube is alright as well.
Bike has potential. Here are 3 things for me that would make it pretty freaking hot in my book. I dont like that seatpost. I dont like that type of setback, though it is better than the thomson setback. Getting a different seatpost like a ritchey, easton, 3T...etc would be more pleasing to my eye. I have never been a fan of -17deg stems. I think a -10 would look better. In fact, i think getting rid of your spacer stack and going with a -6 degree would look best. I have never liked that fizik bartape. Last, Cut that spacer tower above the stem.

Yea, the whole RD/brakes thing should be black....that was $$ driven purchases at the time.
Hmm, it's a 3T seatpost. I am still messing around with the stem. I have a -6 I could try and use that like you said and see how it fits.
