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.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=428774

No, some people are hating on the presentation with mismatched tires, others dislike it because they're not fans of the Spec Squatting Dog, and still others dislike the matte finish/colorway. Above all, though, you need to keep in mind that this is a thread entirely devoted to aesthetics and posting is literally an invitation to judge. As such, higher standards are expected.

Looks like a big graffiti tag. It's not my preferred style, and while I find it rather comical, somehow I'm compelled to give it a Hot. Hot like a popozuda.

Isn't every bike maker up to graffitify their frames :)

This is my new Lynskey R230. Got a super deal on the frame / fork / seatpost. Built it up with the campy / sram parts and wheels off another carbon craigslist bike that was too big.

I have this and a Roubaix. The Roubaix looks like every other one out there, so no point in asking if it's hot or not. It's not.

So you find straight round tube bikes more unique?

The normally fussy drivetrain components get lost in the honkin' big stays and disc of a chain wheel, and the white spokes make the slick wheels look more bold and abstracted, too, so you hardly have to squint your eyes and it looks more like a loose, graphic gesture than a solid machine.

It looks like you messed up the handlebar/shifter install. The shifters look mounted too low and then you over-rotated the bars up to compensate

Let's just put it out there now. No flat black carbon bike is hot.

I'd take a well done color paint job over flat black any day. Unfortunately, very few manufacturers know how to do color paint schemes well. Most positively suck. I think that that was one of the big factors in the rise of popularity of matte black bikes - matte black is harder to **** up.

I recently purchased a Trek Project One bike and picked the satin black over the 10 offered paint jobs.

Sorry, I just liked it better.
