Haha, I saw the Trek, but it was from a while back and my browser had been sitting on the page. By the time I got around to clicking on the thumbnail it was gone... O well, apparently it wasn't Hot anyways

It did get deleted, I think you hurt his feelings.
Looked like a Trek 1.2-1.5, it was shot in sort of a overhead angle. It was placed in a stand, & the background was quite busy.
Black/blue/white colorway, 56cm+.
;P

Granted, I can understand. I'm guessing you got the bike from a Trek Superstore, which explains the 'Dale and Bontragers, and the Specialized saddle is just nice on the bum.
Level out the saddle and it'll get warmer.

The CAAD is hot. I'm not mad on the shape of the bars, but that's just a niggle. Is that a long cage RD? Funky skewer handles too. Needs a better photo to do it justice.

My only criticism would be to title the bars forward to get the drops level. Otherwise, that's a gorgeous piece of bike.

^ What?! Motorola StarTac cell phones were blazing hot 15 years ago. Today... eh, not so much. Just because it was once hot, doesn't mean it always is. I appreciate what he's saying. I mean, I was probably hot at one point... ok, never mind. Bad example.

Take that bike to the V&C, & you'll get all the drool you can handle, & more.
Better bring your buckets.
IMO modern frames(Treks) get more hate than most of the classic steel bikes in this thread.
You don't frequent the "41" much do ya?

To the guy with the Chinese frame(powder blue/orange/black), this is the way to compliment the lines of the frame.

My newly built CAAD 5 with Rival / Force groupset and Rail 52 wheels by November.
