No. A flat bar commuter might not get much love in this thread, but at least take a proper photo of the bike for submission. See how the top bike has their wheels lined up, the drive side is facing the viewer, the crank is angled with care, all lights, bottles, and clutter have been removed, etc allowing the viewer to take in all the parts of the bike without being distracted.



Oh I see. In that case I'll up my game next time, thank you good sir. :ride:

If this was the forum of boardwalks, commuting, a bit of off-road and riding around the neighborhood with your kids, etc., OK, it's pretty hot. But it's not, so it's not.


I'll take the compliment. :P ;)


Seriously, some really stunning bikes around this thread, many of which I've never seen before. Will Definitely influence my next bike choice, on the aesthetic level.

Most of you won't like this but it is a road bike...

I love old steel tourers. Gotta wrap those bars, though!

Before you wrap the bars, put the bar end shifters back on! Nice bike though!

bwilli88 11-02-16 08:22 AM

Thanks, the bars will be wrapped with some NOS Cannondale leather bar wrap. I don't like barcons so the brifters will stay. It rides quick and smooth.

We're the same size and it looks like I have a Cannondale on the horizon. They're one of the last few with a traditionally shaped frame with the horizontal TT. It's hard to find one these days.

A+ bike.

I'm sorry but why would you go spend money on NOS stuff for the authenticity and looks, and then put brifters on this bike?

I understand its more comfortable, but if vanity is what you are going for, those brifters don't match at all with the bike. At least get some classic brifters off Ebay: Vintage Shimano Dura-Ace ST-7400 Road Bike Shifter Set 8 Speed Drop Bar | eBay

Yeah... unfortunately they have a slightly sloping top tube in size 48 and 50. Although I can still live with this look and I think other brands usually have super ugly top tube angles in these sizes.

you should put it in a smaller ring, or cassette gear, to take off some strain off of that derailleur.

Been over a year since I've posted this one and made a few changes. Got rid of the aero wheels and went to Shimano RS81's, latex tubes, GP4000's have become my favorite tires, and use Speedplay pedals instead of Look now.

Prepared for the flaming I shall receive for the blue bar tape, had a nice wreck, trashed the black tape and figured I'd always wondered what it would look like so I retaped in blue. Saddle height 99CM, bar height 92CM. And yes, if you didn't notice the subtle markings on the bike, it is in fact a Fuji :D

Nice, but not what I would consider "hot."

It's frustrating that I can't buy a Colnago C60 in my size (because of the super sloping TT). It only comes in 42S or 45S

Sample of Chloe Hosking's bike (albeit a V1R, but it's almost the same geo when I saw a C60)

very nice

How far is Mt. Hood in that picture?

I'd have to ride to it. Like Frodo needed to go to Mt. Moria.
