Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

love it! Definitely needs more matchy matchy tho. I'd like to see it with some dark bottle cages as yours don't really match the shade of white on the logos. Throw in some gumwalls and a gold chaaain for extra-measure, and to piss off the h8terz.

That Mr. Pink is HOT, although all steel bikes should have king cages.

Better without the off-green tape for sure.

Giant Propel SL1

Always a fan of the Propel, but could you do something about that bottle cage, please, so I can give it a Hot instead of a Not?

What's up with the cage? There's a matching color one from giant but I felt the white is a nice compliment. There's some white On the wheels.

White tape and saddle looks much better. I wish the S-Works logo was in the original spot, but that is a nit-pick.

If it had DA9000 it would be smoke show, but points were not taken away for the SRAM wiped all over it.

To be honest, I figure with a plain bottle full of water in it, it would look as good or better than any alternative, so it's a fine choice. But empty it's a distraction.

nycphotography----You don't have matching water bottles? I though you were a serious cyclist.

I think darker cages would look better, maybe dark blue - too much white there makes it distracting. But a sweet bike.

I really like it but I bet against a white background it would be painful.

The cages are fine.

Now outfitted in Sram Etap! Also got a custom Fetha garmin mount. Hated having a top bar mount because it made the top look uneven. Have a couple rides out on the Etap so far and it....is....AWESOME! Ive always been a shimano fanboy, but let me tell ya, it is so intuitive, easy and fast. Now that I have wireless, it minimizes the cables around the cockpit. That combined with the Fetha garmin mount looks SO good!

That's not fiber grip, it's inbeded into the bars to eliminate using grip paste.
