By posting in this thread, Hot r Not, you are subjecting your bicycle to being judged on its appearance. Perhaps you should of posted in What Road Bike Do You Have? thread instead.
Your entry in this thread is not hot. There is nothing you can do to make it hot unless you burn it.

thanks ... This was actually a serious question

reflector i left just as a backup if lights go out
i experimented with flipping stem and spacers but i still dont have the flexibility yet to be comfortable (being new to road bikes)
my front tire needs replacement (put on some old tires i had after a flat)
yeah stocks seats are ugly

Go back through the thread and take a look at what 99.9% of the pictures have in common. Plain black generic single speed bike from Amazon with reflectors on it simply does not cut it in this thread.

Yes, you broke a lot of "Rules" that this thread recommends to help showcase the bike as best as possible, but it goes farther than the rules for me. Essentially, would I take a second look at it if it passed me on the street? No, probably not. That being said, it important to remember that this thread is BS and strictly about aesthetics. Performance and value are a totally different story, so take your licks here, but keep your chin up and ride it till the wheels fall off.

Kinda billboard-y but still hot. Deserves a nicer crankset than Gossamer.

What bars are those? I like the curve + drop, but the reach looks a little longer than what I need

k_kibbler 04-24-16 10:14 PM

Looks like 3T Aeronova.

that is what I suspected, and that would confirm my thought about the reach being too much for me. I wish TTT offered a shorter reach version.

This is a new build so the seat, stem and bars will get adjusted a bit as I get comfortable. My first bike with Sram Force 22 and I like it. I also like the November wheels.

Saddle and bar tape color just don't go. Cold.
