Its already against a wall, why lean it all awkwardly?

Why not.

The Cannondale is simply the sum of some expensive parts but not special. In my opinion, a bike has to be unique as well as beautiful to be hot.

Well if you are going to go through the trouble of taking a pic and posting it in HrN then maybe going through the trouble of staging it might garner enough of a bump to make it hot. Just look at the majority of the other bikes posted.

Hot. Mainly to mess with peoples' heads.

I love this because I love what modern engineering has done with Aluminum. These frames are amazing and absolutely rival most carbon frames.

Love the bike. Not so sure about the instagram feel of the photo.

A picture like this just shows what bike you have, but not really what it looks like. I have to look at all the individual details and then try to imagine how they actually fit and flow together. This is not about crank angles, gear selection and valve stem positioning - simply leaning the bike straight against the wall and taking a photo looking straight at it would have taken no extra effort, but it would have shown the bike for what it really is.

That can be solved, how about this

While at Rapha...





I'll post another one later against a plain nothingness background to show the changes I've been making as the days go by.

I apologize about the picture (phone) and the barcode on the rim (can't seem to get it off).

Did I do it right? Besides the tire lettering being not uniform.

the merckx is very hot. well done.

That merckx is sexy, but the tire lettering not lining up with the valves is making my ocd go crazy.

Felt F75. First Road Bike.

Nice first bike. But for this thread, at least pull the dork disc off the rear wheel before posting a picture, would you? That automatically makes it not.

[sigh]
Rather contrary, what with the proud display of single chain wheel, single bottle cage and spare tube, but so elegant, despite the monstrous bars....

And I just noticed the black qr levers. Gotta say, when something rewards scrutiny like this, it is SO hot....

I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers (what might the cycling equivalent expression be?), but not very hot.
I like it, and would be proud to own it, but it is kind of a hodge-podge. Pretty chain wheels and stays, rather dorky modern wheels, ye olde quill stem, classy frame, indifferent bars and saddle....
But if it's all what you know and like, it's very girl-next-door, I suppose.

SpeshulEd 

Also the reflectors...of course, the dork disk and reflectors aren't necessarily bad things to have on a bike, but going with the flow of the hot r' not thread, they don't belong. Still, a good looking first road bike.

Let's be honest here...no matter how good looking, if their eating crackers in bed, they're out!!! No one likes crumbs in the bed.

That Merckx is hot, but it could be so much hotter.

Pretty hot even with the saddle bag, only thing is the silver headset which sticks out like a sore thumb, chris king makes black!
