My newer P1 Domane, took me awhile to figure this picture stuff out.

ehh..........

I personally don't like treks, but nevermind that. From what I understand about HrN 101, no saddle bags, cranks need to be horizontal, chain in the big chainring, and chain on a bigger cassette ring. (right now, the gearing is making the rear derailleur look like it's a dwarf). handlebar lower than the saddle, etc. I hate to be anal, but there's a reason why I don't hang around this thread too much.

but that's a lot of bananas. I can't complain there.

that's a lot of coolers.

also there is no way i'm giving any bike a hot if it has an iphone mount on it. It could be a Baum Corretto with the gulf oil pain job (google that) with Lightweight tubulars...but the iphone mount would be a killer.

Does the bike look hot or not? Screw all the silly amenities stuff.

Even with the distracting background it looks hot.

Restage the photo following the above advice, ditch the ipad holder, flip/slam the stem, take the photo in front of a non distracting background then come back to us.

You have a nice bike, but it doesn't look good the way its currently staged.

There you go, constructive advice. A bike can look good despite all the "rules violations".

Well, for a while in this thread it seemed like having a Trek was an automatic not. :p

Yeah, that's about as silly as it gets.

giant is HoT! but i agree on the domane--stage the bloody thing correctly and you will probably get a fair hearing. c'mon, this is a bike porn thread, it's not that big of a deal.

I should have known not to post this picture eh! Been way to busy reyedin on the rollers and eaten bananas to stage anything. Not to mention the 3 bloody ft of snow. I knew it beein a trek and all that the lower 41 was gonna run with that. Once weather gets nice I will stage according to subsection 41eh of rule 414141 and post nice pictures.
sorry bout IPhone mount but I'm on call 24/7 for life so only way I can ride is with it up front and handy cool or not it pays for the toys! Gotta Reyed bananas to eat, cheers.

Well done with the thick skin.

Colt, nice TCR but guess you and me will be in finishing school same time, your in small sprocket up front, yo pedals upside down and your valve stems not lined up with fork! To top it off you got no bananas, get some coolers eh they's kool. Nice bike even if it's not a Shrek!

Not even remotely close to hot... It's not cuz it's a Trek....it's the neon green...

Not because it's a Trek and not because it's neon green... it's because of the tall HT, tall stack of spacers and the upturned stem which contributes to (possibly) a saddle-to-bar rise instead of a drop.
