Bike Forums - Hot r Not

Anyone looking for a top tier wheelset with custom options, Enves would be my first choice. The 65s I previously had for almost two years were great wheels, durable and trued only once after hitting an unavoidable pothole. I sold the 3T wheelset that I had on the De Rosa last month and the Enve 6.7s w/ Tune 170 hubs would be the perfect wheelset to replace that.

Both times I've been in a position to buy Boras, I went with Enve. I chose the 1.45s over the Boras recently. A few other considerations, but weight was excellent and I could use the CK R45s.

Rob built these a few years ago. Alchemy ELF/ORC, CX Rays. 1529g.

I knew this one was coming. And I did think about EPS and Bora, but I really couldn't get my head around components made in Romania being any more of a fit than those made in Japan and America. Since it seems we're surely talking about geography rather than function or technology.

But, in all seriousness, the Di2 hoods feel better in my hand and that was really all that mattered to me. Is there really a debate that EPS functions better than Di2 or vise-versa?

I was just messin with you. ;)

I genuinely lol'd at this.

The obvious answer as to why we're all smashing heads is it's a terrible looking bike.

great if you're a member of the fixie hipster crowd.... but terrible for every other reason possible.

Getting compliments when riding through Williamsburg doesn't count. The bike is hideous. The color combination is clownish and between the seat being slammed (down *and* forward) and the stem being flipped up, you're likely put in an upright riding position that's counter to the purpose of a road bike so it's a massive 'not' in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.
