Cheese and rice people, either its hot or it isn't. if you think its hot then say hot. If it doesn't appeal to you, then so be it I guess. Just mind blowing to see what some will let pass by as a hot and yet when a generally across the board hot bike comes through, those same people will pick on the dumbest things. (Not speaking about just my bike here. Seen it happen time and time again) BUT, all good. I know everyone has their own flavor pallet. Just a shame some of ya'll prefer Frozen dinners to 5 star restaurants.

Cheese and rice?!
Cheese and rice, some people don't know how to take a compliment! I say you have a great big natural pearl and you complain because I won't say it sparkles like a rhinestone. Smh...

Sorry. I should divided up my comments. I didn't understand the whole mom reference but the rest of my response (everything after cheese and rice) was in general and as I said not specific to just my bike.

I guess I should have done a better job clarifying that.

Those are inline skate wheels with CERAMIC bearings. No front wheel = uber slippery through the air. Planning on taking it for a ride on some gravel roads this weekend.

Not a road bike. Therefore not for Road Cycling Forums.

In many states you may abandon a baby at a hospital with no questions asked.

-for this thread ditch the light and toolbag (which I don't care for IMO)
-chop that nubbin off your steerer tube.

Otherwise a nice lookin ride

With that saddle position, you should consider a zero setback seatpost. Otherwise hot if a little plain.

+1, but still won't make it hot, especially with that large decal near the crown of the fork.

+1. They are functional, but do nothing to help the appearance

Don't do that.

BTW, that huge round decal on the fork looks odd.

aye - i think my parenthetical wasn't clear - I was saying I don't care for the tool roll type saddle bag. it's floppy and big and ugly. But yeah both should have been removed for the pic.

agreed. was trying to ignore decals on my initial look but it is pretty blatant.

Your seat is too low. You should get a professional fit.
