IMO tri/tt bikes never ever look hot.

Not knowing what would appeal to riders of these kind of bikes, I can only say that the black and white scheme provides a visual interest and is nicely balanced, and formally it's fairly consistent, so it might be hot....

I had to take my beloved Kuota Kredo off the road. The drop outs were corroding (oxidation actually shows up through the carbon weave). I replaced it with an S-WORKS Tarmac but everything hanging off the Kuota was in perfect condition so I started watching eBay for anything interesting in 58cm that was compatible with my parts. I ended up with a Gary Fisher Cronus, purchased from a gentleman by the name of Gary Fisher. Yes, same guy. I thought that was kind of cool but I was not smart enough to ask him to sign it.

Anyway, the result. I'll be the first to admit that my OCD does not rise to the level required of this thread but I'm happy with how it came out. :)

I'm very happy with it. It's a bit more relaxed and stable compared to the Tarmac, exactly as I had hoped.

+ 1 for flipping the stem. I know it's expensive but better wheels, maybe some Flo's they aren't to expensive. If still to much maybe remove decals on current wheels. If they can't be removed paint them black.

I love the flipping the stem idea and will certainly do it.

Re, wheels: several people have mentioned that and I agree these Eastons do not really look like tri bike wheels.
Funny you should mention Flo wheels; I really like them and one of the reasons I'm selling this is to get a set of Flo's new carbon clinchers.
I do have a set of Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL's that I had intended to sell separately. I think I'll throw them on this bike and see how they look.

Appreciate all the suggestions, gang!

Sounds funny coming from a Tri guy, but I tend to agree.
For me, hot usually has an element of "classic" to it.
Far-out spaceship looking bikes do not appeal to me as much.

My 2016 Giant TCR Advanced

Not my style - a bit much

Bad back drop. Could be hot, dunno cuz of the scenery.

:foo:

I like it. Dig the different background as well.

Was curious if this thing was still going. Btw that CIOCC is HOT.

How did your bike not get stolen in that area

I agree. While I'm sure it's a very nice bike, it too loud for my taste. Too much going on with the wheels.

Great minds think alike.

I agree with you for the wheels/tires are very loud. I swap the frame of my old bike (Opus Alto) with this one a month ago. Is wasn't that bad with the other frame. I'm planing to change the tires with some Conti GP4000S and put a silver chain instead of gold before the next season.

Here is a photo of y bike with black tires but they are 23mm and i prefer the feeling of 25mm (Vittoria are 25mm).

Ha! I actually like it better with the gumwall tires. Though, it's no secret I am a sucker of gum/tan/skinwall. Not surprised you prefer the feeling of the larger tires. A much more pleasant riding experience.

This thread will never die! Hell, it's even had it's own offshoot thread for awhile.

Switched pedals bike looks way better now:

The new pedals also have a way more positive click to them and hold the foot better than the Candy pedals.

No way!!!

Get off my lawn!

Wait, is this [MENTION=168526]TejanoTrackie[/MENTION]'s lawn?

Classy! I'd say hot. Maybe super hot with #gumwalls

Try whitewall tires :thumb:

Forgot to check back in on this. Sorry for the delay in response.

Saddle is a vintage Brooks Swallow.

Nice.. kinda makes the idea of a setback seatpost pointless.

Try washing it.
