Hot from me also, love the black quill stem. Though I'm personally not big on downtube shifters, or bar ends. I like modern brifters where everything is close at hand.

Thanks I like to come in here with lower budget vintage bikes, just to show it doesnt have to be the newest and most expensive.

Not my bike, but worthy of this thread:

Also, tons more photos of various cranks with praxis rings on their fb page:

No.

Uh, can you tell us why you think that? Would be a tad more helpful.
As for me, I wouldn't kick that R5 out of my garage. I'm more drawn to a traditional type frame with less of a sloping top tube, but overall the bike looks awesome! I'd rank it a HOT! The wheels and the bike are not overbadged which seems to be more of a rare thing these days. Nice!

I don't know. It just does not work for me.
