yeah the 2013 model is a full black seat post, but the 2014 model comes that way. I could have gotten a white seat mast, but then the bottom section below the ring would still be black.

Hence the reason i also went with a white seat with the black trim. The white seat matches the cockpit, the the black trim and carbon matches the seatpost/seat mast.

+1 the pink peddles are a nice touch IMHO ESP the choice. Nice bikes man!

both trek and propel are HOT. i like the RSLT team's approach of white bike/white seatpost/white stem/spacers and black saddle/black bar tape the most, but no question, as currently staged, the Trek's very hot.

So, some of you might remember my original Addict...

A couple of days after I posted that I discovered cracks around the bottle bosses. For reasons that are too boring to go into, I now have the original bike (repaired by me) and a brand new Addict R3 frame as well. Hence...

A new Addiction by MajorMantra, on Flickr

HOT, I think this is Giant's best looking bike, love the horizontal top tube

nice job on the addict. Hot!

Mis-matched valve stems, saddle too far back, and the saddle looks "sad". I do like the hood positions though! Udder wize, nice bike. (not a scott fan)

Hot addicts

Saddle position probably needs dialing anyway as I've not been on a proper ride yet, just home from work. The Romin Evo is also an experiment for me.

These (3) are great examples of bikes that look HOT even without deep carbon wheels.


I still haven't seen one on the road, but this works for me. HOT.

Both hot

Hot

Didn't Giant invent (you know what I mean) the sloping top tube for road bikes?

yes, but keeping with the aero theme, they straightened out the top tube for a better aero profile.

I hate the look of the compact frame. A slight slope on the TT (like the Addict R3 pictured above) looks ok, but the seriously sloping TT just looks like a childs bike to me.

hottt

a bit more here too

Kind of hard to tell with the crappy lighting.
Not as of now...

Then I retract my statement. Hot.

Not. Its a great frame, but for some reason it looks so boring. Oddly enough, I think if you would put black seatpost and stem on it to stealth it out, it would help. Nice bike, dont get me wrong, just doesn't do anything for me.

It's the shallow bars, no cages, and black rims that make that CAAD look plain. If it had some king cages and polished rims it would complement the post and stem better, and deeper bars would make the front end look less cramped (though the zero-offset post and short stem make it look like he could have gone done a frame size).

that's all fine, really. it fits me and I enjoy the way it rides (makes me want to ride more).

I've never really been a fan of big or small logos on everything... it's supposed to be understated/subtle.

for my own purposes, it's hot enough for me :P

Absolutely love the Addict with Dura Ace 9000, perfect match with design. Propel hot of course and since I'm a Domane fan boy I'd give it a hot too albeit surprised that you went with the red/wht on a Project One bike.

R1Lee, here's a tip if you don't have it already, get the sw-600 remote shifter for the bar tops. Reasonably priced and well worth it. I figure if you're going to invest in electronic shifting you should take advantage of all the extra benefits :) I just installed mine yesterday and for sustained and steep climbs it's been fantastic.

Hot. I like the understated look. The pic doesn't do it justice though.

Us flatlanders don't need this do we?
