Can someone do something about providing more hot and less Giant?

How about a hot GIANT! Maybe this one will go better.

Having seen one of these up close I am still undecided.
I wouldn't buy one.

It's a nice bike, but there's really nothing that makes it hot.

I have to wonder if people don't find them hot because of how people perceive the brand itself instead of the actual look of the bike.

No one asked if you would buy it.

i like the bike for the most part, but the graphics look bad IMO.

Very nice bike, but the graphics suck.

I agree. They are not the best complimenting design. The frame itself is pretty but Giant doesn't seem to care much about the exotic look, they are not supposed to be. They are generally great bikes for the money.

Reason I own the S Works is because they look so good (to me) and i find them very sexy. The TCR frame is probably better than the tarmac but I still love my tarmac.

Yeah, check out the Cannondale evo I posted.

OK not hot then.
If I wouldn't buy it, I guess I dont think it is hot.

Both, but I dont find any CF bikes hot TBH.
They all look the same to me.

other than the saddle, I like this very much.

I'm sick of seeing bikes made for midgets/dwarfs/little people. Bikes built for cyclists over 6'2" look normal to me.

Saddle - weird
Bars pointing up in the air.
Angle of the pic - weird and makes the bike look warped.
Looks the same as the other yellow Giant except bigger.

And that it is a yellow Giant. ;)

That's an interestingly low perspective for someone so high up. Not the most flattering angle for that bike.

Fair enough, hard to ignore such a repulsive color after all. Does that do it for you enough, or do you want more abuse?

In all seriousness, the crank position and angle are off-putting in this picture more than the bike itself. Doesn't this thread have unspoken rules on how to present your bike? Or did I somehow stumble on the "What road bike do you have?" thread?

Actually, some kid in my neighborhood is always riding this bike, I knew this reminded me of a kid's bike for a reason!
