Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I could say the same about every rear sloping top tube bike out there. pure ugly. flat ftw.
traditional round tubing ftw.

Hot bike, but if you can slap it in front of that big of a roll of seamless, you can find a more elegant solution to keeping it upright.

Top setup does it for me minus the white tape but I think pink could almost work, maybe I'm just biased because I like pink.

Reminds me of my kindergarten class photo. All the other classes from six down had already come and gone, so maybe a hundred kids had walked on it. Kind of loses its effect when it's ripped.

It's a rather indifferent looking bike if you ask me, but I guess if you love it, then you'd give it the studio treatment regardless.

New frame, stem, bars and cables (Cordz). The rest were moved from the MASI. I will change out that front tire in a bit, but its a nice beautiful silk so that will take me some working up to do.

She will weigh in just under 14lbs with the cages, pedals. As pictured she does not have the rear wire, junction box and battery and those weigh under 3oz. I can cut another 2oz with some bolt swapping and 1oz if we slam the stem. She has only been ridden around the block so far.

Why does it look like a messenger bike? Must be the wheels.

I generally steer away from making negative comments but that is just about the ugliest bike I have ever seen. I know it's supposed to be all aero and all with the fat x-sections, but it just looks like a big bloat, like its inflated with a compressor.
