hot!

All nice, the pink one is scalding hot, although some may question your sexual orientation... But I'd ride it!

Edit: I miss read

I'm not sure what u mean by that?

Says the guy with rainbow decals on his frame...

Sorry, I miss read what you wrote. I was confused about your comment because there was nothing like a quote attached to it. I had to read a couple posts prior to understand that it was in regards to your own bike.

Who gives a ****? Are you really that homophobic?

:popcorn

I love this thread.

This rates an "eh, so what" from me...

I was going to say something about that bike but decided it wouldn't be nice. Now that it's been said, definitely not hot.

But what about the fact that he's

I have enough trouble getting comfy on my saddle with just one ass.

literalol

This bike should be in the what would you replace thread...

I like the frame, it's hipsteriffic, but I can still dig it.

However, get rid of the dust caps on the valves.
Put the printed part of the tire over the valve.
Ditch the reflector.
Toss the pedals.
Thumb shifters, no!

Would love to see it with a nice leather brooks, a classic bottle cage, the chrome parts polished, proper saddle to bar drop and different bars.

Bike Porn :thumb:

Ahh bugger you got me...

What , hell no, one of my best mates gay...it was a joke... I personly like the pink just saying he might get some odd looks that's all.

On this thread I can only say toss the whole bike in the bin. On another thread I'd post another response but you gotta be happy with the number of reply's here :thumb:

It definitely attracts plenty of attention, but the majority has been quite positive. Every time I take the Ridley out, its become a conversation piece; whether its the custom paint, EPS, or my custom wedding band..lol, I've been approached by fellow cyclists and non-cyclists as well with nothing but positive feedback.

I also think that frames with a sloping top tube seem to make the seat post longer or look longer compared to a frame with a horizontal top tube

Dunno if that's chrispino's BF username, but I know this bike belongs to chrispino.

Yes that bike does not belong to me. I have a Neilpryde.

Yeah sorry. I was scrolling through to find examples and saw that bike. Didnt see at first look that it was NWAlpine that was commenting on that bike.

I think it's important to note that your body proportions dictate your riding position [i.e stem length, saddle-bar drop] moreso than how experienced or flexible you are. It really only takes average flexibility to ride a bike with saddle-bar drop at the higher end of what is appropriate for your body proportions. If you are tall and lanky, you will be able to ride with more drop than a short person with short/average limbs proportionate to height.

Look at Cavendish's bike - he is as PRO as it gets and doesn't ride with a huge amount of drop. He is also a shorter fellow. I am 5'9 with arms that are shorter than average for my height. I need a 100mm stem on a properly-sized bike [54cm TT], and find myself most comfortable with about 9cm on saddle-bar drop - not extreme by any means, but enough to easily get a flat back in the drops without a full 90deg elbow bend.
