Any bike from Time is hot.

What kind of cranks are those?

Time is a constant competitor with Look for who can put their name on the bike the most times before running out of room. There was a Look on the workstand at the LBS with the word Look on it... seventeen times. Step up your game, Time.

Cannondale won this challenge years ago. It isn't even a competition.

Not from what I've seen. They're on par with Trek, with usually 8-10 logos per frameset. Look puts their name on the outside AND the inside of their fork blades. There was even a Look on the bottom of the downtube. Who is that for? Mirrored roads?

Here's the same bike as mine (Look 695) that's been custom resprayed which I would consider doing something similar.

Normal stem makes this pretty frickin hot. Would only remove the deep wheels.

I love that color and it's a nice looking build, but if I were to see it IRL I'd probably assume it was a Domane or something and not even look closely enough to notice that it was something more unique.

HOT. Bonus points for staging like it is. Fits perfectly.

curved top tubes are so weird

The number is what makes it Hot(to some).

Of note - DA cranks, pedals, Di2 shifting/levers (not "weightweenie" power train.). I think I can get it to 12# in another about a month with the 9100 RD, removing Garmin holder, maybe different pedals = MAVIC.

"Hot," I like the color scheme.

Reminds me of my first bike - a Fuji Gran Tourer, "champagne" color, which I thought was especially hot at the time. I still think it's a pretty classy color, like "Platinum" (which yours is?), for a steel bike.

Got myself a new Deda superlaggero stem which has a lower 8 degree. Closer to that flat angle I was after. Made some adjustments to my bars/hoods as well. I'm in love

Not what I'd call 'hot,' but a very pretty picture, and a very handsome bike.

I road a bunch of Wizards. I knew Brian (SoCal). He made such great bike art. Many bikes ride better - but for looks and finish - always HOT.

Everyone has their own taste for sure. Just out of curiosity though, what exactly do you not find hot about it?

As slammed stems are less aero 90% of the time, that distracts me. I know this is a looks first, function 2nd thread, but that distracts me. The bike is well put together with nice stuff.

how is a slammed stem less aero without seeing the rider on the bike? Its not like there is a ton of saddle to bar drop
