Really? Red, white, and blue, too many? That's un-American. :)

IMO, would be hot if extra spacer chopped off, and different bottle holders. Nice photography though!

Plus silver, various shades of black and carbon. Non matching saddle and tape

Finally have one to add. Pretty happy with it. Just want to dial in the fit then cut the steerer tube.

Sloped top-tube is undeserving of love.

Yeah, not staged properly, but it was the only way I could make it work with that backdrop.

Are big bikes allowed to play?

yes, but expect the little people on this forum to ask stupid questions about your height.

I think it's almost hot, but I'm no fan of Cervelo.

How about my son's Madone 6.5... it's a 61cm.

BTW, the white cages were replaced with black and he has a set of Bontrager Aeolus 5 tubular for racing.

Too many spacers.

I think that it's an awesome bike and pretty good looking (most bikes with tall head tubes look awful), but I wouldn't say that it's lusty hot. Also, not something that I would ever change for aesthetic reasons, but the saddle and compact drops look tiny and a little incongruous, given the scale of the frame.

Hot isn't the appropriate description.

Very classy.

I wouldn't call it hot, either: out of respect. :)

Nice, I would match the white decals with white saddle and bar tape & solid black tires

It is very responsive to inputs from the hips while at the same time feeling solid and stable in the front. It goes straight very well but really loves to be leaned over hard from side to side through successive corners. The first word that came to mind when I first took it for a ride was "sharp," and for me it still describes it best.

Thanks! They're Reynolds R6 (old Reynolds Strike).

What model of wheels are those? Considering getting some Hunt wheels myself. The Palace frame is still on my list but might have to wait a year or two longer.

Fiery 07-26-16 12:48 AM

They're the Four Season Aero. No review of them yet, they arrived on the day I had surgery for my IT band. Will be some time before I can give them a good spin.

PepeM 07-26-16 08:16 AM

Oh, that's a shame. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Fiery 07-26-16 10:36 AM

Thanks! I hope it will be worth it.
