I dig it, just wish you had a better picture to share.

Dan333SP 03-23-14 04:26 PM

Me too. I'll snap my own pic next time I ride with him.

Since this is the looks>function thread, get some deeper wheels and a white Felt logo on the downtube, and your teammate's ride would look proper :thumb: Great bike as it sits, too :D

Not my bike, so don't hate the poor quality cell shot. However, it's a teammate's new ride, and I think it is smoking so I thought I'd share.

Heinous, unlovably ugly, like most if not all aero bikes, lol.

Opinions, etc. /shrug

White Zipp logos, white tape, white seat...nothing white on the frame (less the tiny AR1 badge)

It's all good. I'd leave the frame as is and black out everything else.

First, I'll admit that I'm a Felt guy, so I'm biased. Having said that, the aero frame is not nearly as good looking. Wide seat post, huge headtube aren't really attractive. However, with all that going on, I think he's missing some continuity. Zipp white logos, blacked out Felt logos (which I like!), white saddle and white bartape (which no matter what anyone says, still doesn't make sense to me from a practicality standpoint) but solid matte black frame? It either needs to go all black, or put some color (even if it's white) into it and go with that. As it stands, it's not hot to me, although I do recognize what a great bike it is. It's just not hot. Also, bad job on whoever wrapped the bars...

Third race season on this thing with a couple new upgrades this year. Still shines up alright.

Yesss! That's super hottt... Like I said, nothing against the Fulcrums (I have a pair of the Racing Zeros that are my favorite wheelset), they just seem to clash against the beautiful frame IMO.

Jamis is hot. Plus, you had a good result on it this weekend, which is even hotter.

Good looking bike! I'm not a fan of the huge easton decals, but otherwise good. SO? How'd you do on this race you supposedly got a "good result" on this weekend? The 41 wants to hear. Makes the bike hotter, after all.

shoota 03-24-14 02:02 PM

I'd prefer a black, white, or red seat post collar since nothing else is blue on that bike. Hot otherwise though

bianchi10 03-24-14 04:09 PM

I agree on seat post collar and that chain is screaming in a whisper to not cross chain it like it is lol.

Hot

Is there a bike somewhere amidst all them dang logos? What kind of wheels is them?

Otherwise...HOT..generally a fan of Jamis here...

sbxx1985 03-24-14 04:18 PM

I'm not a fan of huge white wheel decals. psimet did the same thing for a while with his TEAM ISSUE decals, and it was pretty bad. Like those Eastons, it drowns out the bike.

relayer66 03-24-14 06:59 PM

Jamis is hot. Seatpost collar though...

cannondale125 03-24-14 07:11 PM

I agree but there is a blue pine stripe along where the black and white are separated. Not worth replacing.
