Centurion is hot.

Centurion is cool as hell. Cooler than a lot of the "hot" bikes on here. Most, if you ask this C&V steel fan. But it's not hot IMO. And I really like Ultegra 6500. The red hubs, the business of the color against the crabon bits, etc.

edit:

.... I'm looking at it... and with an alloy SP, I'd change my vote. I think that's the proverbial straw as far as business and mismatching...

Purple and yellow is awesome, and it looks funky and interesting. Hot for sure!

Thinking of getting one or a traditional mountain bike.

This bad boy would obviously serve me well during winter but what about summer? Would it be practical for the trails?

Nice bike.
It would be hot if it was in any other "colourway".
This is just like my bike (black, white, green) and I hate that green accents (on mine and yours).

Just finished rebuilding this.

biachi10, please don't go with the red crank bolt set, your bike is awesome the way it is, and I think the red bolts would be too much.

I have a 13 supersix-4 that I have tried to build up using your guidelines, I value your opinion on bikes.

I've only had it a week, but I did manage I get it out last weekend. I found it to be very capable in the woods. I didn't ride anything super technical, and I'd imagine it'd be a challenge to hustle it around, but for flowing trails, it's damn nice.

A more standard shot.

Turn it around so we can see the drive side.

Lightspeed is HOT, so is that Moots

Moots is hot.

sweet bike but crappy photo and staging

Thanks man. That's quite the compliment. I think the future changes will be new bars. I had thought about doing the crank bolt but I don't it is something I want to do. I'd rather get a DA RD and DA cassette down the road to save some more weight.

Hot!!!
There's something about raw/naked Ti bikes that always get me.

The fat tire mt. bikes are really designed to be used in heavy mud, sand, packed snow conditions and are tank like when compared to modern hard tail mountain bikes. I believe both the Surley Pugsley and the Salsa Mukluk weigh 35lbs + (yikes) which is a huge weight penalty to carry in conditions other than those previously mentioned. Not sure what the Motobecane weighs though.

hot for me. i even like the yellow tires. I would do a double take on this bike if saw it somewhere

first of all, as an owner of two centurions myself (a super le mans and a comp TA), i really think this is awesome.
the group is fine, and i like the easton fork and seatpost.
but to make it HOT (in my opinion)...
being into matchy matchy components, i would have found some sort of easton stem.
the wheelset is nice, but aesthetically dosn't fit in with the frame to me. a bit new school looking on an oldish school steel frame...especially the red hub/spoke.
im also thinking going all black for the saddle and handlebar tape.
that and i would angle the handlebars down some. and the saddle level.

this is all nit picking though, and i would still say i like the bike the way it sits even though i would have made several different choices parts wise

To answer the questions about the red hub:
That wheelset is a limited edition, which is why it has the red hub.

Wow. What a classy bike. It's beautiful. And then YELLOW tires?! Wow, again, but this time not in a good way, the bike is so classy, elegant, timeless... with garish tires. Otherwise, I'd vote hot, but not as is.

i didn't have a question about it, i just dont think the wheelset with the red hub fit aesthetically on the bike. just my opinion.
it definitely is a nice wheelset though.

It wasn't really aimed @ you, I figured I'd address it since it was mentioned, & probably will be an issue in this thread.

Well, the tires are way off for this bike. The bars are pointing down. Chainstay guard not kosher. It would be nice to have a ti seat post and ti cages. IMHO, still needs some work.
Cheers

Lol at using your trainer as a bike stand.
