Hot. Stem is a bit long, but not enough to change my vote.
You may want to edit and enlarge the picture.

Not hot, but a hoot. Puts a smile on my face.
Normally I like quiet bikes, but I'd be tempted to put cards on the fork and seat stays so it would make noise. :D

It totally does.

Also, the bullet valve stem covers? Just, no.

A few things still wrong with my Kuota, will fix a repost. To-do: (Flip stem, remove front flashing light, remove cell phone..heehee, turn from wheel around so skewers are on correct side.)

While your at it, peel the rim stickers, lose the loud saddle and replace the brake calipers with black ones.

Why is the saddle loud?

Is this saddle better?

^I don't object to the saddle so much as all the letters, esp. the rim decals.

Rolling billboard.

Sorry, but I had one and sold it.

Way too busy. Wheel stickers are too much for the color combo, way too much advertising.

I just built this up. Needs deeper profile wheels, but I think still came out OK.

I just looked at the last few pages and every bike looked like crap to me.
You boys all look like you are riding bikes 2 sizes too small, and then get the extra long seatpost and stem.
No wonder y'all need to wear diapers to ride those frames... they are baby frames.
Very unappealing to my eyes.
:p

I love those saddles. Lightweight and comfy.

My Specialized Allez with DA 9000 and some other goodies. Bought this stock because I wanted to try an aluminum rod bike and I love it so far.

Are those even Shimano wheels? I've never seen Shimano wheels with white spokes. And yes, its a terrible rolling billboard.

Thought I would get a picture for this thread since I have posted somewhere else before. I also made some changes to the bike. I still feel like I want to get some black holders for it to complete the transformation from white to black. but thought I would snap a quick picture for you guys to see what some think. Also sorry about the environment I thought outside would be better then an indoor shot, I can re take it come spring.
