Kestrel is definitely hot. It took me a while to grow fond of the seat tube's termination, but I like it. Red/Blk are my colors!

I like it, but I don't think "hot" is the right word.... maybe "clean & classic"? it's pretty straight forward, minimal, and pretty sweet! Ever thought about going to brakes that allow the cable to go under the bartape to get an even cleaner & more minimal effect?

I'll tell ya, I wish the Schwinns of the world would make this bike again instead of messing with cheap faux-fancy road bikes

Haha, yeah, I got a cheap copy off eBay (that is actually pretty high quality) got a liquigas bib, jersey, headsweat, gloves, and socks for $90. I was pretty happy. I can pose away now

I love my Masi (09 Gran Crit) too. Very Hot Ride. I am also a big fan of the SRAM setup. I hope it rides as fast as it looks.

I would have to say that White Bar Tape would make it faster.

That Cannondale is hot! The color scheme is great but I'd vote for white bar tape.

Love this build - a steel Colnago get's instant hot points right off the bat, but its the little things like the seat post that take it that extra mile.

I thought about switching it. But I had white tape on my last bike which had a brownish tint after about ride number 2. I was also looking at this color:

Green bar tape

Or maybe the metallic blue on that page?
