just built this up, haven't taken any good photos yet...still need to change up the final bits of trim to match!

Nice paint job, so it's a hot from me.

Yes, the saddle appears to be at the limit line, but the middle of the saddle rails is still at least 10 mm behind the center line of the post.

Comfier?

It looks like the seat and post were just put on for the photo. If the original height is what the OP really uses, then either the frame is too small or the seat is too high...

Yikes, that same bike photo's been re-posted 10x (-ish) already!

My 2 cents: Nice bike, but not "hot". Seems a "hot" bike needs to be carbon, slammed, murdered out (or have anodized purple or gold, or both), ridiculous wheels, a groupset that Darth Vader would be proud of, and some kind of "bling" factor.

Ya know, that actually helps. Can you fix my Trek for me? Just white out "Trek" and slap "Cervelo" on the downtube instead.

I love that GT, super rad. the fork is killing it tho, triple triangle looks really sweet with a wound up.

Not mine, but I'd love to build up an edge next.

Been ~15 months since I've posted in here, I think that's outside the statute of limitations. That, and aside from bottle cages, seatpost, and the actual frame, nothing remains from the last posting...

My favorite comment from last time around was that the bike looks like a surplus Korean War era Jeep. I'm hoping I've kept with that aesthetic.

Nah, the frame would probably crack then!

A nice bike, but not "hot".

BTW, wtf is up with that saddle?

I'm wondering why the rear looks eccentric.

That's the bike painted with gun coating? I like it a lot and love the name.

It's a Selle Anatomica Titanico X, and when set up properly, that's what they look like. I certainly agree that aesthetically, it's not in the top 20 saddles out there, but comfort-wise, it's a far and away #1.

If you mean the chainstays, it must just be the angle of the photo-- they're parallel and not eccentric.

Yes, Duracoat 2-part gun coating (WWII OD Green.) And because nothing at all sticks to Duracoat, the lettering is all Duracoat (HK416 black) as well.

The brass bell kills it

What is that mount for the CO2 cartridges, or did you just strap them on? Looks like it says Lezyne on it?

Is that the bike that had all the bullets on it?

More a matter of the rotor looking like it's not centered on the wheel, but of course in reality would have to be.

I picture Colonel Potter riding it:

True, but I'd do anything to get that "hot" rating!
