I echo this statement. This bike makes me feel dirty inside.

What bars? They're sexy.

Them is the Deda Superleggera bars. Had the second ride today and felt myself starting to dial in a little. I don't know what it is exactly, but the combination of Campy shifters, bars, and frameset makes the easiest transition from hoods to drops then comfortable riding in the drops that I've ever experienced. Eye keed yew knot!

Very nice and HOT!

My poverty CAAD10. I switched wheels to Zipp 101s that I scored dirt cheap and added a 53/39 instead of the 50/34. I think I should be able to attain "hot" status now, but probably need white Zipp stickers to get there.

I live in Dallas and Austin has the most severe climbing I see aside from vacation to New Mexico, so I decided it was time to man up and get the 53/39. I'm still slow and weak though.

Thanks, probably the cheapest "hot" bike in this thread. White, gray, or red stickers on the wheels?

If you must do something with the stickers, just take them off. I don't know that it's worth going to the trouble putting new ones on, but I'd go with white if you did. It looks fine as it is though. Oh yeah, IMO. etc. etc. etc.

What were they thinking with that downtube? Nice wheels, though.

Interesting... the bottom of your paddles are lower than the ends of the drops...

Beautiful bike btw... hot!

That frame is not appealing to me at all, but since we want to make everyone feel special around here now

gc3, that Colnago is off the charts hot. I love the classic look of that lugged carbon frame. Hot, and presentation is spot on except for that pesky front valve stem isn't at 6:00?! What were you thinking! …in my opinion.

And has nothing to do with it's quality. It's the bike I like most among the recently posted bikes. I'd love to see demonstration that any of the bikes here is better than yours for what it was meant for, racing.

Yeah that down curved downtube, certainly not to please everyone, me included. Or the very curved fork on what looks to me a racebike, almost looks like that fork should be on a touring bike. Not questioning it's responsiveness and to do what Bianchi wanted, it just looks out of place on an aggressive frame like that. I'd expect to see it on a steel bike with a steel fork.

I'm sorry that trying to get the thread back to the initial friendly atmosphere is upsetting to you, but we really want Bike Forums to be a pleasant place for people to visit and post. Since this seems to be bothering you, I think the best option is to just ask you to not post in this thread again. That way the thread can move forward and you will be spared the angst of trying to come up with something nice to post about the bikes.

FWIW i thought it was pretty funny and wasn't offended in the least bit. Posted in HrN expecting any type of response negative or positive.
