Love everything but the greenish yellow graphics. If those were black.....

I bet many of those people you lol@ can barely hear your laughter, because they dropped you.

A beautiful, no bull**** rig. Calendar hawt.

Doubt it.

Black would be boring, look like everything else. It doesn't have to be your favorite color to be hot; needs to follow the rules and execute with taste.

SirHustlerEsq

Thanks, I like how people recognize it when I take it with me on work-travel. The bike is used, tons of paint chips as it goes everywhere, saw 7,500 miles this year. I chose the one-color route because the bike gets raced and I'm sure it will make a second-trip to the carbon fiber repair bro. It will be a sad day when I retire it, which is not in the foreseeable future.

Doubt that they hear you, or doubt they would drop you?

TenSpeedV2

Black would be boring, to you. To me, the bike screams mis matched with the awful shade they used of that green yellow. Half of the bike has black graphics already on it. That is not hot.

Square Wheels

Uh oh, I must be a real fool and deserve lots of ridicule. I have carbon wheels and I never train nor race. I feel so stupid now.

The bike tapers in brightness from the front skewer to the saddle, the satin blue and yellow are half of a split complimentary, with the black taking the place of the 2nd half of the split. All black and blue would work, but wouldn't pop. To each is own, my point is simply that the yellow does it's job here. I'm a bit of a color/pantone freak.

I'm not gonna argue with there.

We like to get on each other about how we all look compared to each other but we should be sticking together because in reality the general population all looks at us the same. Like a bunch of weeny spandex wearing, car-annoying FREDS.

What rules?

The wrong color is not hot. It's like you're trying to argue with somebody who is saying he doesn't like blondes.

SpeshulEd 

For the sake of reference, it's not green/yellow but high vis yellow. Giant has a thing with hi vis this season, as they have other bikes in their lineup that are all high vis. The bike I posted is actually a flat/matte blue color with gloss black and high vis accents. Color aside, I enjoy the matte/gloss combo in it's own right. Which is exactly my plan when I get my next bike custom painted.

Carry on.

It always amuses me when people talk **** in the Hot r Not thread, but never post their bike.

Unfortunately, they aren't stickers and are not removeable

I'd take you up on that bet in a heartbeat. Look at his stats on his veloviewer, he's not one to sneeze at. He gets KOMs on fixies.

exime

Shame about his personality though.

SpeshulEd 

My KOMs and Strava mean nothing. It's just a gauge to see how I do from year to year.

Honestly people, we're talking about carbon rims. Some people like them, some people don't. On a modern carbon bike, I think they look good up to about 50mm. That's just my preference. I think skinny rims and tires on big tubed carbon bikes just look out of place.

gsa103

Not true. There's also the group with giant saddle bags, HiVis everything, and dozen lights and gadgets mounted to the handlebars....

You will catch flak for "omg matte black" but that gets a hot from me.

Caveat:
-Valve caps
-Mismatched and misaligned tires
-Single bottle cage? Crit hero only?

TenSpeedV2

People are gonna say no because it is all black, matte black, murdered out, too much black, yadda yadda, but at the end of the day, this is hot.
