Although the OT cranksets require proprietary tools for install/removal, nothing difficult about it. I actually posted up a thread here showing how I was able to install it with and without its preload ring.

Tarmac is hot until you see the DeRosa. Love the De Rosa but GREEN bartape?? Really? It' looks really good in black.
I don't know, looking back, that's got to be one of the best looking Tarmac's on here. Very niiiiiiice.

Not a fan of the handle bars or seat post and just too generic in general for my liking.

This iteration of the DeRosa, I like gumwalls and I like green accents, but not at the same time.

Similar thoughts as gc3. I've recently come to really like gum wall tires, however, they look best on all black rims, i.e. carbon. Put on some all black tires and it will be hot. For now it's a Not for me.

Race ready set up. (excuse the saddle bag - took this during a ride) Only other thing needed is a Sram YAW derailleur to eliminate some of the chain rub. Other than that everything is on point.

Everything is done right on that cervelo, the angle of the stem fits that top tube well, stem is slammed, deep dish carbon wheels, staging is good, but there is just something about it that makes it Luke warm for me and I don't know what it is. Might just be the geometry of the frame, I don't know. I still like it a lot, but its not super hot for me. I really want to give it a Hot though

De Rosa will always be hot.
Cannondale needs the 52 to be the same color as the Rail. Still hot.
Cervelo is Hot. My bet is the short leg/long torso look of the set-up, Bianchi10.

Nice couple of pages of bikes. Good stuff in the Hot r Not thread lately.
