HOT Guru! Staging is almost spot-on, too. :)

I'm guessing the guy has a longer torso and shorter legs, and as such needs a slightly smaller frame; as opposed to someone like me with longer legs and shorter torso, where I need a slightly larger frame but shorter stem.

What size is the Guru? And how tall are you?

Funny because Guru is own by Cannondale !

It's funny that you see so many Cannondales, because they only account for about 3% of sales. Vs. 30+% of sales for Trek, which you see very rarely around here. I think that in certain circles certain types of bikes are more common. Trek sells a bunch of bikes, and the majority of their sales are commuting/hybrid type bikes, whereas Cannondale primarily specializes race/road bikes. We all love our super hot race 41 bikes, so there is a lot higher % of riders here on Cannondales. However, you ride down to your local college campus on a Cannondale and it may be the only one you see out of hundreds of bikes ... Just an observation :)

You see a lot of cannondales because they make a good looking bike.

One of the shops in town is getting rid of their cannondales and becoming a trek dealer - they said cannondale sales were slow and heard they were down across the country. I found that interesting since it's practically a prerequisite to own one before getting on this site. Still, Treks are everywhere in the Phoenix area, easily the most ridden brand in the area based on what I've seen. I know about 4 other guys with cannondales, can't even count the number of people with Treks.

You forgot to count the sales of MTB's, & kids bikes,Trek sells a bunch of them too. Trek caters to everyone, you walk into your LBS/Trek dealer with the family, & walk out with bikes for all.

The wheels make that Time bike hideous.

The Guru is Hot, the Time is Not!

I know the Venge gets a lot of hate in the 41, but it gets a hot from me.

I think that any hate it (and other Specialized models) gets is because of the 'pooping dog' look that some size frames exhibit; Whoooshie's bike doesn't suffer from that, though. Hot.

I am 6' and the GURU frame is a 56 traditional geometry. At size 58 (next size up), the seat tube would have swallowed the seatpost in its entirety due to my body proportions.

They are again ROTOR chainrings (flamesuit on). It was the only way to make that ugly crank tolerable.

OK. I wasn't asking what kind they were, was just saying I like it. Much better than the hollowtech

Way to mess up those nice crankarms with the dorky Rotor rings!

I do like the way you made the seatpost almost disappear.

Whooosh has some hot bikes.

HOT. Deserves better picture, but still way hot! That wheel only looks odd because of the flash that was used for the phone. I cant wait to see a better shot of this bike!

The S-Works, the show polished Lynskey.. can't go wrong with any of his bikes.

And of course, HOT on the current S-Works.
