Hot.....DAAAAAAYUM!!... that's fire!!! Can't for the life of me figure out the spoke weave pattern in the back though. Of course I'm not a wheel builder so who cares.

Black bikes matter. Hot. Hate Shimano cranks in general and now hate Campy cranks too.

BTW, this thread is all about judging the bike that is posted. If you don't want to hear what people have to say, don't post a photo. I don't give a damn what people think, so I don't post a photo of my bikes.

Of course if people don't believe their own bikes are ready or worthy of examination, then they shouldn't post photos of them here, but the only way this thread isn't a bad idea is if we DO care, at least in some small way. And sure, plenty of people find themselves with homely bikes and without the resources to make them good looking. But if the question of whether ones own bike is hot or not is unworthy of consideration, then surely the question of whether anyone else's bike is hot or not is even LESS worthy of consideration. Besides, if you really don't care what people think, why on earth would anyone care what you have to say?

I haven't posted a photo of, any of my bikes because I don't care whether anyone here thinks it looks hot or not. What part of that doesn't make sense?

The central flange is the only way to transmit torque effectively for that wheel. The wheel is pretty hot in itself but that's what I thought about Spinergies about 17 years ago.

Do as you please, but everytime you say "not", we all laugh at you.

The point is to increase our appreciation of something we care about. If you don't care, then your opinion is is neither kind nor harsh, it's meaningless. It's one thing to not be sensitive to the harshness or kindness of what someone may say (in which case to 'not care what other people think' would make sense), quite another to willfully ignore or hold oneself above the kind of judgement one would pass on others.

If you don't post your bike because it's a **** bike, then your opinion holds no value whatsoever. It's like driving a civic and calling a bentley a POS. The guy in the bentley couldn't care less what you think of him, he's driving a ****ing bentley.

Yes! And a question...how do you like the drops and the front suspension? I've been wanting to throw drops on an old mountain bike and make it an adventure bike, but never thought about using a front suspension. That's pretty cool.

It worked well for how I used this bike, but I plan putting low-riser bars on this, and putting these on a Salsa Cutthroat w/a rigid fork.

It's hot, but I think we both have the same problem holding us back from unreal out of this world hotness - Really classy frame DIMs but not the best choice in handlebars. Angled ergo bars just don't suit this style imo. Otherwise the bike is fixing to take noodle soups time trial bike out on a pity date.
Class. Don't listen to anyone who says it needs some color. Black says nothing and its what we fill in the blanks with that make it such a cool color.
