Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Only way to make it hotter would be to turn it around, & put in in front of a garage door.
Don't forget to put it in the large ring.
lmao...I put in 40 miles on it yesterday...Man, I got aches in places that just shouldn't. Fall I'm splurging on a nice road bike. Until then I have to be content with scaring aimless pedestrians on this bolt bucket. I ran it into a granite retaining wall on a bridge two weeks ago, that's where that lovely bare metal beauty mark on the shock came from...

Agreed and I think all white would be even better. Unique bike/paint scheme helps IMO.

Saw an Argon 18 @ the driveway 4/5 crit last Thursday in white and red... yea super hot. Made me feel kinda common on my venge!

The flames on the Trek are a nice touch, white/blue hot!
Now I've seen it all.
Might be too close to call...
My verdict:
Its too clean for my liking.

The C-Dale has just the right amount of dirt to make it sexy.

Yeah. I don't mind 'em. But each to their own.

Damn yall are harsh haha, I think it looks good. And thats tape from where I wrecked in a race, because I actually race it...its what I built it for. But I agree the decals arent my favorite, like I said..they are shared. Thanks for the comments though guys.

Not bad. But whoever built your front wheel put the valve hole in the wrong spot.

The angle of the pic made it look like they're crossed and that the valve is not between parallel spokes.

I built one of those 5.9s for a customer a few months back and marvelled at how pretty the finish was. He came back recently and it was marked up all over. Be warned that matte white shows everything and is a real bugger to clean.
